The answers lay in their sacred stories.

Kohei Fujiwara has never seen a big ryu in real life. Those dragons all disappeared from Japan after World War II, and twenty years later, they¿ve become the stuff of legend. Their smaller cousins, who can fit in your palm, are all that remain. And Kohei loves his ryu, Yuharu, but¿ ¿Kohei has a memory of the big ryu. He knows that¿s impossible, but still, it¿s there, in his mind. In it, he can see his grandpa ¿ Ojiisan ¿ gazing up at the big ryu with what looks to Kohei like total and absolute wonder. When Kohei was little, he dreamed he¿d go on a grand quest to bring the big ryu back, to get Ojiisan to smile again. But now, Ojiisan is really, really sick. And Kohei is running out of time. Kohei needs to find the big ryu now, before it¿s too late.

In The Lost Ryu, debut author Emi Watanabe Cohen gives us a story of multigenerational pain, magic, and the lengths to which we¿ll go to protect the people we love.

It is a powerfully layered novel that poses the questions: Who owns the truth? Who speaks it? Who believes it?   “A patchwork story is the shame of the refugee,” Nayeri writes early in the novel. In an Oklahoman middle school, Khosrou (whom everyone calls Daniel) stands in front of a skeptical audience of classmates, telling the tales of his family’s history, stretching back years, decades, and centuries. At the core is Daniel’s story of how they became refugees—starting with his mother’s vocal embrace of Christianity in a country that made such a thing a capital offense, and continuing through their midnight flight from the secret police, bribing their way onto a plane-to-anywhere. Anywhere becomes the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy, and then finally asylum in the U.S.   Implementing a distinct literary style and challenging western narrative structures, Nayeri deftly weaves through stories of the long and beautiful history of his family in Iran, adding a richness of ancient tales and Persian folklore. Like Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights, Daniel spins a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth.   A tale of heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their truth and be heard. - Daniel is a major force and one of the youngest publishers in the industry. - He’s an #OwnVoices author, public speaker, and storyteller. - A pulled-from-the headlines immigrant story. - Thematically relevant as immigration stories take center stage in politics, news, and media in 2020. - Daniel challenges how we tell stories by using traditional Persian folk tales - A fantastic literary whirlwind  that questions western narrative structures.
