About the Book

The award-winning creator and screenwriter of ground-breaking BBC television show, Spirit Warriors starring Jessica Henwick (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Games of Thrones, Iron Fist) brings you a deeply moving story of one young girl's fight to stay with her mother that will delight fans of A Monster Calls, The Joy Luck Club and Pan's Labyrinth. A young girl's carefully crafted magical world shatters when her mother is hospitalised and her estranged grandmother from Hong Kong comes to stay. Mai has never met her grandma, or even spoken to her before. All she knows is that her mother fell sick, and Grandma never spoke to them again. Now it's the summer break but tenacious Mai refuses to be stuck in the house with Grandma, finding increasingly elaborate ways to visit her mother in hospital. It never occurs to her to ask why Grandma doesn't visit her mother... it never occurs to Mai to speak to Grandma at all. The only time they seem to communicate is when Grandma shells monkey nuts in the garden, while telling fantastical stories of her fabled life in China, tales that include outsmarting ghosts, and rescuing baby pandas. As they battle each other over their new roles in the house, can they come together before tragedy occurs?

About the Author :
A self-taught screenwriter who learnt the craft when she locked herself in her room and binge-watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jo's writing life began in film and television, when she created the ground-breaking, critically acclaimed CBBC action fantasy television series, SPIRIT WARRIORS, which introduced leading actress, Jessica Henwick (GAME OF THRONES, STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKES, and upcoming Marvel/Netflix show, IRON FIST) to the screen. Granted the biggest budget ever given to a CBBC show at the time, it was nominated for Best Children's Programme at the 2011 Broadcast Awards, with Jo herself, going on to win the Women in Film & Television's, New Talent Award in 2010. Since then, Jo has worked with some of the most acclaimed producers in the world, creating big budget projects with even bigger ideas, with several television shows and movies currently in development. A self-confessed geek and video gamer, and champion of female driven stories, Jo typically creates kick-ass female protagonists like the ones found in The Hunger Games, Divergent and Maximum Ride. Jo lives in London and hopes one day to travel across America in a super kitted out, Zombie-apocalypse-ready RV, with her lovely fella, Matt, and three equally lovely kitties.
