It's almost time for the Year of the Ox! Ming and Miaow are busy helping their ox friend, Xiao Nioh, get ready to kick off the festivities with a dance performance to wow the crowds. But when Xiao Nioh's father, Lord Chiyou, makes clear his disapproval, the trio find themselves sent on a quest to save a village from a fearsome beast.

Xiao Nioh is worried. He can't fight a monster - he's a dancer, not a warrior like his dad! On their adventure, can the Guardians help their friend prove himself to his father while staying true to himself, or is the Year of the Ox ruined before it's even had a chance to start?

A humorous and action-packed series, Guardians of the New Moon: The Year of the Ox is perfect for fans of Yomi and the Fury of Ninki Nanka, Tiger Warrior, Laura Ellen Anderson, and Spellcasters.

Phung Nguyen Quang (Illustrator) Phùng Nguyên Quang is an illustrator - picture book author based in Saigon, Vietnam. He creates his stunning artwork using a mix of watercolour, acrylic and digital.
