New York : First Second, 2026

English

Based on "The journey to the West" by Wu, Cheng En, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature

Sūn Wùkōng wasn't born in the usual way--he hatched from an egg atop Huā Guŏ Mountain, full of big dreams and an even bigger attitude. With a shape-shifting staff, a cloud he can ride like lightning, and an unstoppable belief in himself, Wùkōng isn't just another monkey ... he's the Monkey King. When word of his wild powers reaches the Heavenly Realm, the gods try to keep him close to prevent any chaos. But Wùkōng didn't come all this way to play by someone else's rules. And when he decides to shake things up, the skies themselves might not be ready for the storm he's about to unleash. Can one monkey's mischief really cause an uproar in heaven?

Includes Wùkōngs mini dictionary
