Martial Arts Star by A. Y. Chan takes Mo to Hong Kong to shoot her movie, where she unexpectedly comes across another ancient book of martial arts secrets. This is a fast-paced, high-kicking sequel to The Legendary Mo Seto.

After rescuing her dad, along with martial arts film star Cody Kwok and the ancient Book of Joy from a major player in the notorious Five Claw crime organization, Mo is ready for her next challenge: filming a movie with Cody! Mo and Dax are whisked away to Hong Kong to commence work on The Protégés. It’s Mo’s first trip overseas, and she is awestruck by the glitz and glamour of the international film scene.

Soon after their arrival, they attend a party at Cody’s house, where Mo and Dax meet Cody’s younger sister, Fiona, who appears snobby and cold. Mo is shocked when Cody’s father gives Cody a familiar-looking book: the Book of Sorrow, a piece in the trilogy of books that holds ancient techniques passed down for generations. She is even more shocked when a thief steals it while the party is in full swing and not even her martial arts skills can stop them!

With no leads on the identity of the mysterious thief, Mo enlists the help of a reluctant Fiona, dons her detective hat, and, in between filming, sets out on a mission to find her ancient ancestors’ Book of Sorrow. Can she find and protect the book and make her martial arts movie dreams come true?

About the Author

A. Y. Chan grew up in Canada’s Greater Toronto Area reading all the middle grade and young adult books she could get her hands on. To this day, those remain her favorite genres. After achieving her black belt in Taekwondo, she explored other martial arts, such as Wing Chun, Hapkido, and Muay Thai. These days, she continues her martial arts training some mornings, writes in the afternoons, takes long walks to muddle out plot points, and falls asleep reading.
