The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes sixteen-year-old GenieâEUR(TM)s every waking thought. But when she discovers sheâEUR(TM)s a celestial spirit whoâEUR(TM)s powerful enough to bash through the gates of heaven with her fists, her perfectionist existence is shattered.

Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness. Quentin nurtures GenieâEUR(TM)s outrageous transformationâEUR"sometimes gently, sometimes aggressivelyâEUR"as her sleepy suburb in the Bay Area comes under siege from hell-spawn.

This epic YA debut draws from Chinese folklore, features a larger-than-life heroine, and perfectly balances the realities of GenieâEUR(TM)s grounded high school life with the absurd supernatural world she finds herself commanding.
