Guardians of the New Moon: Ming and Miaow’s Great Race by Eric Huang

All Miaow wants is to enjoy his peaceful, solitary life as a temple guardian catching mice. But when the Jade Emperor invites all creatures on Earth to compete in a Great Race, the reserved cat finds himself reluctantly entering – and worse, socialising!

Spirited and fiery, shapeshifter Ming is Miaow’s polar opposite, and she’s determined to make him her new best friend. But she hadn’t counted on Miaow making other friends too. As the race heats up, things start to unravel . . .

Can the pair (and their friendship) make it to the finish line? The first in a light-hearted, action-packed new series, MING AND MIAOW’S GREAT RACE is perfect for fans of YOMI AND THE FURY OF NINKI NANKA, TIGER WARRIOR, Laura Ellen Anderson and SPELLCASTERS.

When the Jade Emperor gets bored, there’s only one answer … a Great Race! Fiery shapeshifter Ming and solitary cat Miaow enter for a chance at eternal fame and honour – but will their tentative new friendship survive?
