OPEN A BOOK,OPEN THE WORLD
Momo Arashima 喜歡媽媽告訴她的那些神話傳說，然而班上的同學只覺得她得了幻想症。但當她實際面臨到瀕死的威脅，她才知道媽媽的故事不是虛構——她的媽媽是保衛黃泉道路的神道教神祈，而如今道路遭到破壞，數以萬計的惡靈從深淵竄出，威脅人間的安全。Momo，以及她的夥伴—會說話的狐狸Niko，和她以前最好的朋友Danny，是唯一可以阻止這場混亂的人選。
Momo該如何接受她半人半神的身分，解放與生俱來的力量，將亡者趕回黃泉並拯救世界？
A thrilling fantasy series about a twelve year old girl who sets out to save her Shinto goddess mother—and the world—by facing down demons intent on bringing chaos.
“A grand adventure.” —Brandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fablehaven
“A wild ride of a novel…hilarious.” —Sayantani DasGupta, New York Times bestselling author of The Kingdom Beyond
All Momo wants for her twelfth birthday is an ordinary life—like everyone else's. At home, she has to take care of her absentminded widowed mother. At school, kids ridicule her for mixing up reality with the magical stories her mother used to tell her.
But then Momo’s mother falls gravely ill, and a death hag straight out of those childhood stories attacks Momo at the mall, where she’s rescued by a talking fox . . . and “ordinary” goes out the window. It turns out that Momo's mother is a banished Shinto goddess who used to protect a long-forgotten passageway to Yomi—a.k.a. the land of the dead. That passageway is now under attack, and countless evil spirits threaten to escape and wreak havoc across the earth.
Joined by Niko the fox and Danny—her former best friend turned popular jerk, whom she never planned to speak to again, much less save the world with—Momo must embrace her (definitely not "ordinary") identity as half human, half goddess to unlock her divine powers, save her mother’s life, and force the demons back to Yomi.
