BALLAD OF YAYA GN (2025)

"1937. In the chaos of the invasion of Shanghai by Japanese troops, a well bred little girl is separated from her parents and is left alone but for the help of a boy from the streets. Together, these unlikely and opposite children set off to find her parents and survive adventures across war torn China."

"Yaya is captured by the evil Zhu and held prisoner in his terrible secret lair! Tuduo wants to save his new friend, but how can he fight his former master? Maybe he has another plan..."

"As Japanese planes bomb Shanghai, Yaya and Tuduo flee the city by jumping into the truck of a small traveling circus. Tuduo tries to persuade Yaya to stay with the benevolent circusfolk, but Yaya insists on finding her family and sets off on her own, despite the dangers in the cold wilderness..."

"Yaya and Tuduo find themselves stranded on an island, and it is up to Yaya to find help. But things get even more desperate when she winds up in the clutches of some wicked gangsters and their illegal pearl diving operation. How will she be able to escape?"

"Having escaped the pirate camp, Yaya and Chan must find help for Tuduo who has fallen sick with a terrible fever. Will they be able to find a doctor and resume their journey to find Yaya's family in Hong Kong? The exciting middle-grade adventure series continues!"

"Lost and alone, with little memory of how she wound up in the winter wilderness, young Yaya must survive the cold on her own while Tuduo sets out to find her before the wicked gangster Zhu does."

"Yaya's memory is still missing, even after being rescued by the wicked Zhu, the gangster who has been chasing her for her family's wealth. She mistakes him for a good Samaritan and agrees to follow him to Hong Kong where he promised to return her to her parents. Meanwhile, Tuduo keeps his promise by also going to Hong Kong to inform her parents of her apparent death."

"Setting sail on a large freighter, Yaya and Zhu head back to Shanghai while Tuduo and Oyster Gravy miss the boat. During the journey, however, Yaya recovers her memory and realizes that her savior is not who she thought he was!"

"Yaya is finally back home but finds the big house where she expected to find her family to be deserted. Only the loyal driver Chang is there to greet her. Fortunately, Tuduo and his little brother arrive to cheer her up and give her hope, because her parents may not be that far away... "
