Description

When Evie Mei discovers that her recently passed mother was the head of a guild of magical weavers, she enters the Chinese netherworld to try and bring her back in this middle-grade debut. Twelve-year-old Evie Mei Huang never did like helping in her mom’s tailor shop. She hated helping to mend fraying clothes, how the measuring tape got all twisted up, and how pushy her mother’s clients were. Most of all, she hates that her mother is dead and isn’t here to help anymore. But when the universe sends a life preserver, Evie knows to grab it. So yes, it’s weird when a talking monkey shows up and tells her that her plainspoken, hardworking tailor mother was actually the head of a Guild of magical weavers who can change the fate of a person with only a spool of thread. Very weird. But he also comes bearing news that her mother is trapped in Diyu, the Chinese underworld, and that only Evie can get her back. No pressure. The important thing is that Evie’s mom isn’t dead. And if she’s got this one shot to bring her back and save her family, she’s got to take it. Inspired by Chinese mythology, Aimee Lim’s debut middle grade peers into the dark and gritty underworld, while showcasing the unbreakable bond between a family and the lengths we’ll go to save them.

    • A fun fantasy novel based on Chinese mythology
The Spindle of Fate is a fantasy novel based on Chinese mythology - specifically, how Chinese mythology relates to the afterlife. Evie Mei Huang is the daughter of a well-known tailor and clothing designer who goes mysteriously missing and is presumed dead - that is, until a mysterious talking monkey-like spirit appears, and tells Evie that her mother was taken mistakenly, and is the Courts of the afterlife. The monkey-spirit wants Evie to go on a quest through the Courts, to bring her mother's spirit back to rejoin her body before it's too late. The spirit tells Evie about the various Guilds populated by people with special abilities, something she never knew about, although the spirit assumed that she did - after all, her mother is the head of the Weavers' Guild. This is a fun fantasy adventure, with a 12 year-old, female main character, and a teenage boy, Kevin, as her assistant - a member of the Warrior Guild, another Guild Evie had never heard of, and the only person who would volunteer to go with her. That this knowledge comes after Evie's mother's apparent death adds to her surprise, as do the things she learns about her mother, and herself, as the story progresses. This fast-paced novel is recommended for readers middle school through adult, especially those who enjoy fantasy, mythology, or both. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ... show more

    • Very enjoyable to read
Bought it for my grand daughter and she finished it in two sittings. She was just so much into the book she lost interest in all other things until she finished the book. She said the book is 5/5 and started recommending to her friends for summer reading

    • Satisfying middle grade fantasy
vie is devastated when her mom dies in a drowning accident. But she is stunned when a mysterious scroll claims her mother is still alive but stuck in Diyu (a Chinese version of hell.) The only person willing to go with her through Diyu to rescue her mother is another kid, Kevin. Together they enter Diyu and begin their search. I really enjoyed this book. Evie is a determined and likeable character, and Kevin turns out to have unexpected strengths. The story is well written. Their quest is suspenseful and fast paced. The family dynamics are also done in a pleasing way. Thank you to Netgalley and MacMillans Children for my e-arc. ... show more

    • Exciting and Interesting
Fast paced, action packed with LOL moments and surprises. Also heart wrenching at some points. I am sure middle graders and young high schoolers will love it. My favorite character is Thida. I want more of her.

    • Great middle grade fantasy adventure based on Chinese mythology
This was a terrific middle grade fantasy adventure based on Chinese mythology! I've read several in this genre, and think that this is one of the best ones. The premise was interesting and covered a wide range of themes including family, loss of a parent, grief, love, and friendship. I couldn't put it down! The Chinese underworld was so fascinating with it's different floors/levels and quite scary. I love the folklore pieces woven into the main storyline and kept rooting for Evie to be reunited with her Weaver mother. So many interesting aspects and definitely set it up to be a series! I'm looking forward to learning more about this world in future installments. Recommended for ages 10+. ... show more

    • A fun take on being an heir to something greater
I was drawn to the cover of this book. It's gorgeous. Evie has lost her mom, and during her grief, she receives a message... from her mom telling her she's not dead, she's trapped in the netherworld. Evie discovered that there was more to her seamstress mother than she thought. Her father does not speak Chinese and has never learned of such a secret, so Evie seeks help from those who may understand what is going on. The council is too afraid to face the terrifying maze... that is actually filled with bureaucracy. Instead of a story towards only magic lore, we are presented one with nasty greedy creatures with cooperation vibes. There are directors and bosses to complain to, making it unique and fun to read. The ending was not what I wanted, but it gave me a hint that this is not a standalone. Thank you netgalley and Publisher for this e-arc. ... show more

    • Asian Alice in Wonderland style fantasy
I think our oldest daughter will love this book. I love the premise and world building. I love how the friendships are done. I love the adventure to find mom aspect. I think the main character is a very fun middle grade heroine. It has a very Alice in Wonderland vibe, which I liked as well. The ending was a little abrupt, but laid the groundwork for the sequel. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book. This review is voluntarily written and the thoughts and opinions contained in this review are my own. ... show more
