In the next book in the thrilling fantasy series filled with gods and monsters of Shinto mythology, a twelve-year-old girl must steal an ancient relic, work with new friends and learn to control her own dangerous power to defeat a new threat.
After vanquishing a demon king, saving her mom, and reconnecting with her friend Danny, Momo ought to be living the life she's always wanted. But lately, Danny has been ditching her to hang out with mean-girl Ryleigh—and groups of kids have begun vanishing without a trace. Then a whole backyard full of cool kids at Ryleigh's exclusive birthday party becomes the latest to disappear, leaving Momo, Ryleigh, Danny, boy band superstar Jin, and Momo's old friend Niko the fox to fight a dangerous new enemy from Shinto legend.
This time they are up against Tamamo-no-mae—beautiful, bloodthirsty, and manipulative, she's the ultimate mean girl of the Kami-verse. To defeat her, Momo must travel to the Sky Kingdom and steal the legendary Mirror of the Sun. But if she’s going to survive monster ambushes, escape giant snakes, and pull off the heist of the millennium, Momo will have to find a way to work with her team (even Ryleigh), and grapple with the growing power that connects her with her storm god grandfather, Susano'o', and her greatest foe—Izanami the Destroyer.

      Momo is thrown into a dangerous quest to save the children of the mortal world from an ancient Japanese demon in this second series entry. After fighting monsters and defeating a powerful demon, half-kami and half-human Momo Arashima wishes she could celebrate and just go back to her everyday seventh grade life. But Momo feels like her best friend, Danny Haragan, is drifting away--he's been hanging out with Ryleigh Guo, the mean girl who bullies her. When Momo crashes Ryleigh's party in order to confront Danny, she finds herself in the middle of a mass kidnapping of her classmates by the ancient nine-tailed fox demon Tamamo-no-mae. In the aftermath, Momo is left with Danny, Ryleigh, and boy band superstar and surprise party guest Jin Takayama ("Ryleigh's mom's cousin's best friend's husband's nephew"). This oddball team, accompanied by Niko, Momo's magical fox spirit babysitter, set out to ask the Seven Lucky Gods for help. Their only hope is to travel to the Sky Kingdom and steal the Mirror of the Sun from Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun. Although their journey includes attacks by yōkai and encounters with deities and spirit guardians, their biggest challenge is learning to get along and trust one another. Shintō influences and Japanese folklore are blended in this action-packed fantasy that explores friendship, belonging, anger, anxiety, self-discovery, and embracing all parts of ourselves. An appealing adventure filled with both action and heart. (glossary) (Fantasy. 8-12)
