I finished Pahua and the Soul Stealer by @lorimlee82 earlier this week. It’s another winner from @readriordan Presents. I am not at all familiar with Hmong folklore or mythology or culture, so I found this fascinating (which is, of course, the point of the Rick Riordan Presents line). The more I read these books, the more recurring tropes I’m finding, like single mothers, mysteriously absent fathers, and kidnapped siblings. I’ve never actually read any of Riordan’s Percy Jackson books or any of his others; there’s just so many! It feels like I’m committing to a long term relationship before the first date. But I probably will start at some point, because if nothing else, I’m curious whether or not these are recurring themes in his work. #thismakesmehappy #books #2021reading #bookstagram #pahuaandthesoulstealer #rickriordanpresents #lorimlee #hmong #hmongfolklore #middlegradebooks #fantasybooks #middlegradefantasy #representationmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/CT41vMfpL69/?utm_medium=tumblr

More about the book:

“Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Lori M. Lee's middle grade debut about a lonely Hmong girl who discovers she's a powerful shaman warrior in this fantasy inspired by Southeast Asian mythology. "I love the adventures Pahua has in this book. I also love the sense of humor, the clever plotting, and the fantastic cast of characters. But most of all I love Pahua: her courage, her kindness, and her love for family."--NYT best-selling author Rick Riordan Pahua Moua has a bit of a reputation for being a weirdo. A lonely eleven-year-old Hmong girl with the unique ability to see spirits, she spends her summer days babysitting her little brother and playing with her best friend, a cat spirit no one else can see. One day Pahua accidentally untethers an angry spirit from the haunted bridge in her neighborhood--whoops. When her brother suddenly falls sick and can't be awoken, Pahua fears that the bridge spirit has stolen his soul. She returns to the scene of the crime with her aunt's old shaman tools, hoping to confront the spirit and demand her brother's return. Instead, she summons a demon. Thankfully, a warrior shaman with a bit of an attitude problem shows up at the last minute and saves her butt. With the help of this guide, Pahua will have to find her way through the spirit worlds and rescue her brother's soul before it's too late. Little does she know she'll have her own discoveries to make along the way. . . . With its unforgettable characters, unique nature-based magic system, breathtaking twists and reveals, and climactic boss battle, this story based on Hmong oral tradition offers everything a fantasy lover could want.”
