Jamie Hattori is many things: half-black, half-Japanese, roller derby loving, lesbian, but she’s also a superhero. She talks to spirits and fights with a sword, but she has to keep her secret safe from her mom, all while trying to defeat her arch-nemesis.
Publisher’s Description
Jamie Hattori’s alter ego, the masked hero Kensei, has been doing pretty well protecting her neighborhood from petty villains with her martial arts skills, her father’s katana, and a little help from the local spirits. But things get rough when the spirits start flaking out, the Goddess of Discord throws a few cursed apples, and an online gossip site sics an angry football player on her. Then there’s her slipping grades, the vampire owls, and the cute roller derby chick looking for romance. And even worse, Jamie’s hero-hating mom is starting to get suspicious. Can Jamie defeat her mysterious nemesis without tearing her family apart? And more importantly, will she score her first kiss?
