SIGNED WHILE SUPPLIES LAST The Lost Queen Aimee Phan 9780593697337 Hardcover Ages 13 And Up, Grades 8 to 12 Young Adult Fiction / Fantasy / Contemporary Young Adult Fiction / Asian American & Pacific Islander Young Adult Fiction / Coming Of Age Jolie Lam, a high school sophomore in San Jose, is known for two things: her bizarre freak out at last year's swim meet and her fortuneteller grandfather with visions of dragons and earthquakes. Friendless and ostracized, Jolie's life takes a dramatic turn for the better when she saves the school's it-girl, Huong Pham, during a haunting vision of her own. Taken under Huong's wing, Jolie's world transforms, in more ways than one. As Jolie and Huong's bond deepens, they unlock long lost powers: telepathic abilities, fluency in Vietnamese, and eerie premonitions. This leads them to a shocking revelation: they have ties to legendary queens and goddesses of ancient Vietnam. While a thrilling discovery, it also sets them on a perilous journey. The girls must navigate dreams and portals to piece together their past lives and reclaim their immortal elements before their ancient enemies strike again. But all is not what it seems, and Jolie must determine friend from foe, truth from lie, and ultimately right from wrong in this battle for all she loves and the fate of the world. Show more
