When Li Po travels from China to Malaysia to marry the Sultan of Malacca, the people are reluctant to welcome her as their Princess. But Li Po embraces all aspects of her new home and very cleverly blends elements of her past and present cultures.

Heroes of the Quest: An Impossible Team (Book 1)

"“Team! I am your leader on this Quest! Follow me!” From the outset of their adventure, Master Mouse is hampered by his hilarious and calamitous teammates who don’t even recognize him as their leader. A mouse, a giraffe, a slug and ... a pig?!? All perfectly imperfect, how can they possibly compete against the mighty lions? Will they even finish the final challenge of Quest School? Master Mouse is a 14,500-word middle-grade children’s story written to amuse, instruct and inspire kids aged 6 to 10 by transporting them to a magical world of adventure while drawing deep parallels with their own journeys of growth and awareness. Beautifully narrated, the story’s clear messages are delivered with humor and pace and give permission to kids of all ages to embrace the life’s endeavors by being brave and vulnerable. We are all perfectly imperfect, and no one demonstrates this better than Master Mouse and his flawed team of Questers who seem doomed to fail from the outset. Unaware of the unique skills each brings, and all keen to suppress their individual flaws, the ragged team struggle to work together, all with the goal to fulfill the graduation requirements for Quest School. During their adventure, Master Mouse manages to lose all of his team members, but, in the end, needs to rely on his team members to be rescued himself. Will this be enough to receive their diplomas? Through a hilarious series of mishaps and misunderstandings, this story shows children how vulnerability brings us closer to each other. It demonstrates how embracing our perceived weaknesses helps us cooperate while acknowledging our individuality and diversity. Many children’s books address the challenges of childhood, coping with life’s lessons and social dynamics, but this book is uniquely positioned to support the current wave of awareness around the dichotomy of inclusion and diversity and shows children how to feel their feelings and be proud of their uniqueness."

Defense Mech

"DEFENSE MECH by RAY BRADBURY - Halloway stared down at Earth, and his brain tore loose and screamed, Man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars and danger and terror and maybe death. Oh, my god, do you realize how far from Earth we are? Do you really think about it? It's enough to scare the guts from a man. Hold me up. Do something. Give me sedatives or hold my hand or run call mama. A million cold miles up. See all the flickering stars? Look at my hands tremble. Feel my heart whirling like a hot pinwheel! The captain comes toward me, a stunned expression on his small, tight face. He takes my arm, looking into my eyes. Hello, captain. I'm sick, if that's what you want to know. I've a right to be scared—just look at all that space! Standing here a moment ago, I stared down at Earth so round and cloud-covered and asleep on a mat of stars, and my brain tore loose and screamed, man, man, how'd you get in a mess like this, in a rocket a million miles past the moon, shooting for Mars with a crew of fourteen others! I can hardly stand up, my knees, my hands, my heart, are shaking apart. Hold me up, sir. What are hysterics like? The captain unprongs the inter-deck audio and speaks swiftly, scowling, into it. I hope he's phoning the psychiatrist. I need something. Oh, dammit, dammit! The psychiatrist descends the ladder in immaculate salt-white uniform and walks toward me in a dream. Hello, doctor. You're the one for me. Please, sir, turn this damned rocket around and fly back to New York. I'll go crazy with all this space and distance! The psychiatrist and the captain's voices murmur and blend, with here and there an emphasis, a toss of head, a gesture: 'Young Halloway here's on a fear-jag, doctor. Can you help him?'"
