Review: The Legendary Mo Seto by AY Chan

Popping on to say what a delight this middle grade novel is! It’s a high impact, triple kick of a story full of action, lovable characters, and a heroine who inspires. 

I’ve often read a lot of contemporary or historically based middle grade novels, but this is a fun fusion of fantasy and contemporary starring Mo Seto, a small taekwondo champion who learns the importance of being oneself and solves a mystery along the way. 

This story will have you on the edge of your seat and make you want every pun shirt Mo’s best friend, Nacho, wears. If you read a lot of middle grade, a little bit, or have a middle grader who loves adventure and martial arts, I recommend preordering The Legendary Mo Seto or checking it out June 4th!
