With chaos on the rise, one girl stands in the face of all evil . . . and we're not talking about homework! The action-packed sequel to the epic fantasy series inspired by Chinese mythology.
"A hilarious tussle between homework, family, and heroism." —Kwame Mbalia, #1 New York Times bestselling author
As shamans, Winnie Zeng and her archnemesis, David Zuo, have accepted their roles in guarding the world from evil spirits. But with Halloween around the corner, the balance between realms grows fragile—and so yet another shaman is assigned to help Winnie and David protect the town of Groton, Michigan.
The catch? The new shaman is just the worst. Not only is she way too perfect—she also has an ego to match, and thinks she’s the best thing that’s happened to Groton since Winnie’s red bean brownies. Plus, she's confident she can save the world all on her own.
With evil spirits growing in number, Winnie and David find themselves in quite a pickle. While the newest shaman isn’t convinced there’s a storm brewing, this town is going to need all three of them on the same team . . . or there might not be a town left to defend.

      A young hero strives to level up her skills only to face a singular demonic foe. This entry picks up after the events of Winnie Zeng Unleashes a Legend (2022), in which Winnie discovered that she comes from a family of shamans. Now she must capture wayward spirits from Chinese folklore and send them back to their stories before they wreak havoc in her Groton, Michigan, hometown. Winnie and David Zuo, her classmate and archnemesis, are officially sworn in by the Shaman Task Force and warned of increased spirit activity with the approach of Halloween. Meanwhile, Winnie is challenged by a mental block that stops her from combining her power with her overspirit grandmother, Lao Lao. A portal that appears during a school field trip to a museum marks the beginning of a slew of odd occurrences throughout the city and within her family. When the Department of Supernatural Record-Keeping is ransacked, the Spirit Council sends in another shaman, new Groton Middle School student Kelly Miao, who is perfect at everything and condescending to boot. The three young shamans are thrown for a loop when the Bull Demon King gives his spirit minions deceptive powers. Observant readers will understand the meaning of some clues well before Winnie does. Ultimately, the trio work together to take on their formidable opponent. The ending of this full but well-balanced story hints at more adventures to come. Brisk, entertaining, and fun-filled. (recipes) (Fantasy. 9-12)
