The Monkey King as you've never seen before.
Mikaela Kong is a K-pop star in the making. One day, she will perform on the world stage—or so she hopes. But the arrival of Bai Yulong, a boy proclaiming to be from the Celestial Realm, throws her plan into a spin. As she joins forces with Yulong and secondary school wushu champion Wong Feixue, Mikaela must learn to wield her iron cudgel and save the world before she can get back on track to K-pop stardom.
From bestselling author Vivian Teo comes a new middle grade series about friendship, loyalty and celestial prophecies. There is no shortage of excitement in this brand-new take on a Chinese classic tale.

“With Mikaela Kong, readers are introduced to an idealistic and lively young heroine with both K-pop and Wuxia vibes. This combination is an absolute ball of fun, and even better, the story is set in Singapore with exciting scenes taking place in well-loved local spots. Having Sun Wukong reincarnated as a 13-year-old Singaporean schoolgirl does not just make the Journey to the West story come alive, it charts a new path for this iconic primate to develop deep friendships while saving the world.”
—Melanie Lee, author of the Amazing Ash & Superhero Ah Ma series -
