, multiple award-winning author, poet and translator team Leza Lowitz and Shogo Oketani make their first foray into young adult fiction with a compulsively readable tale whose teenage heroine must discover if she can put the blade above the heart-or die trying. She's terrified, but if Jet won't fight to protect her world, who will? Stalked by bounty hunters and desperately attracted with the man who's been sent to kill her, Jet must be strong enough to protect the treasure, preserve an ancient culture and save a sacred mountain from destruction. And at the end of the night, her mother dies and Jet finds herself an orphan-and in mortal danger.įulfilling her mother's dying wish, Jet flies to Japan to live with her grandfather, where she discovers she is the only one who can protect a family treasure hidden in her ancestral land. But this time, Jet is fighting for her life. In Search of Sunrise is the first compilation album in the In Search of Sunrise series mixed by Dutch trance producer and DJ Tiësto.

For as long as Jet can remember, every Saturday night she and her mother played the game on the local mountain. Raised by her single Japanese mother on a Navajo reservation in the Southwest, Jet's life was a constant litany of mysterious physical and mental training. Jet has never lived a so-called normal life. There's only one problem-she doesn't know it. **Nominated for the Cybils Young Adult Bloggers Literary Award** **Shortlisted for the 2014 SCBWI Crystal Kite Award** She owns Sun and Moon Yoga Studio in Tokyo and has written for Yoga Journal and Shambhala Sun.**Winner of the 2013-2014 Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature**
