SUMMARY:Eric Huang Author Event
DESCRIPTION:About Eric Huang\nEric Huang grew up in Los Angeles. He’s always loved science fiction and fantasy. When he studied palaeontology at university he had dreams of discovering dinosaurs\, real-life dragons! Field work didn’t live up to his Jurassic Park dreams though\, so he spent a year doing odd jobs\, including giving tram tours at Universal Studios\, before landing a temp job as a secretary at Disney Publishing. The temporary position turned into a career in publishing spanning three decades and three continents! He was an editor at Penguin Australia\, one of the children’s publishers at Penguin UK\, and helped launch LEGO Books. Today Eric is an author\, podcaster\, and a lecturer on the Masters in Publishing programme at City St George’s\, University of London. \nEric Huang on Instagram (@Erichuangbooks)  \nWhat to expect from the event\nMeet the magical creatures and unpredictable gods and goddesses from East Asian legends through the adventures of a fiery nine-tailed fox named Ming and an introverted temple cat called Miaow: \n* Learn about The Great Race legend and the Lunar New Year. \n* Discover your lunar animal\, their magical abilities\, and the qualities that make you and your animal unique. \n* Create a magical adventure around your animal based on East Asian legends. \nHere’s an introduction from Eric to get your pupils excited about the event: \n\n\nFocus Books\nThe session will focus on two Guardians of the New Moon titles: Ming and Miaow’s Great Race (9781788957373) and The Year of the Rat (9781788957380) \n \nBuy the books\nIf you’d like to buy the book for your school before or after the event\, we offer a substantial discount on the RRP price.

But when the Jade Emperor invites all creatures on Earth to compete in a Great Race\, the reserved cat finds himself reluctantly entering – and worse\, socialising! \nSpirited and fiery\, shapeshifter Ming is Miaow’s polar opposite\, and she’s determined to make him her new best friend. But she hadn’t counted on Miaow making other friends too. As the race heats up\, things start to unravel… Can the pair (and their friendship) make it to the finish line? \nBook title: Guardians of the New Moon: The Year of the Rat \nFresh off the excitement of the Great Race\, Ming and Miaow are officially Guardians of the New Moon and eager for more adventure! Their first mission: to take race-winner Su home and help her prepare for the inaugural Year of the Rat.? \nMing is keen to get started\, but Miaow finds himself distracted. Things are tense with Su since the rat tricked Miaow during the Race\, and the two just can’t seem to be in the same room without causing chaos. It gets even messier when their squabbling catches the attention of a furious sea goddess\, who is determined to teach Miaow and Su a lesson. Can the longtime frenemies learn to work together\, or is the Year of the Rat doomed to disaster? \nPublisher: Little Tiger
