  The ruler of the Kingdom of Biqiu was deceived by his father-in-law into seeking an immortality elixir containing the blood of over one thousand children's hearts. When Xuanzang heard this cruel news on his journey, the kind-hearted man asked the monkey to save the children. With help from a group of deities, the monkey hid all children outside the kingdom. Then, he went to the palace with Xuanzang to investigate the situation and figured out that the royal father-in-law was a demon. After all the children in the kingdom went missing, the royal father-in-law suggested the king use the Tang monk's heart instead. Disguising himself as his master, the monkey took many hearts out of his own chest to expose the demon's lie. The monkey and Pigsy chased the demon to his den and were about to kill him when the Star of Longevity arrived and showed them the demon's true appearance, a white deer. The demon was previously the deity's mount. The children were then sent back to the kingdom. Delighted, the families expressed their gratitude to the pilgrims.

  Life sucks when you’re twelve. You’re not a little kid, but you’re also not an adult, and all the grown-ups in your life talk about your body the minute it starts getting a shape. And what sucks even more than being a Chinese-Filipino-American-Guatemalan who can’t speak any ancestral language well? When almost every other girl in school has already gotten her period except for you and your two besties. 
   
  Manuela “Mani” Semilla wants two things: to get her period, and to thwart her mom’s plan of taking her to Guatemala on her thirteenth birthday. If her mom’s always going on about how dangerous it is in Guatemala, and how much she sacrificed to come to this country, then why should Mani even want to visit? 
   
  But one day, up in the attic, she finds secret letters between her mom and her Tía Beatriz, who, according to family lore, died in a bus crash before Mani was born.  
   
  But the letters reveal a different story. Why did her family really leave Guatemala?  
   
  What will Mani learn about herself along the way? And how can the letters help her to stand up against the culture of harassment at her own school? 
   
  From debut author Anna Lapera comes Mani Semilla Finds Her Quetzal Voice—a novel full of spunk and activist heart. 
   
  “Anna Lapera expertly voices a young girl’s middle school trials, with a voice so unique and heartfelt you will be cringing one moment and cheering the next. She weaves a distinctive story filled with humor, family heartache, and secrets while a young girl releases the fear of her voice and grasps its power.”—Newbery Medalist Donna Barba Higuera
