Last, for now, but most certainly not least,
Leo has begun a new set of novels starring a
young heroine with a real difference.
Lola Nitika McNeill-Lavein is a teenage girl with a couple problems. First, she is a little late in blooming and is getting a bit fed up with her boyish body. It haunts her a little but nothing like the spirit of a caprecious monkey god who invades her, living in her inner ear and who keeps trying to control her.
This first adventure sees her travelling to China where she and the monkey god become one--unintentionally on her part!--before she/they go back the the United States where she becomes involved in a mystery that involves someone she met, disliked enormously, and who even tried to kill her back in China. Now he seems intent on finishing the job.
Can the monkey God protect her and teach her to protect herself? Can the monkey live in harmony with the teachings of her ancentors who, on one side, were native Americans?
Will she develop some curves for Pete's sake?
