Ellen Oh’s middle grade, fantasy adventure novel, The Dragon Egg Princess, draws inspiration from Korean lore and culture to tell the tale of Jiho Park, a magic-less boy living in a magical world. When the ancient and mysterious Kitahara wood – home to powerful, supernatural creatures – is threatened by foreign forces and the awakening evil within it, Jiho, a fierce bandit leader, and a lost princess must join forces to save their worlds before it’s too late. Fantasy fans will love Oh’s rich and wonderfully imagined story for its humour, inventive magic and thrilling action.
