Guardians of the New Moon: Ming and Miaow's Great Race by Eric Huang (author) and Phung Nguyen Quang (illustrator)

All Miaow wants is to enjoy his peaceful, solitary life as a temple guardian catching mice. But when the Jade Emperor invites all creatures on Earth to compete in a Great Race, the reserved cat finds himself reluctantly entering – and worse, socialising!

Spirited and fiery, shapeshifter Ming is Miaow’s polar opposite, and she’s determined to make him her new best friend. But she hadn’t counted on Miaow making other friends too. As the race heats up, things start to unravel… Can the pair (and their friendship) make it to the finish line?

The first in a humorous, action-packed new series, MINGAND MIAOW’S GREATRACE is perfect for fans of YOMIANDTHEFURY OF NINKINANKA, TIGERWARRIOR, Laura Ellen Anderson and SPELLCASTERS.
