Peasprout Chen: Battle of Champions by Henry Lien
4.0
Peasprout Chen, now 15, returns for a new year at Pearl Academy. Pearl Academy itself has transformed itself into a training ground for wu liu warriors because Shin is threatening to invade. Peasprout's brother is still around as well as the twins Hisashi and Doi. Also joining them is a Shinian princess, Wu Yinmei, who has fled from her homeland. But the twin's father still has it in for Peasprout and she's faced with having to win every one of the year's challenges or be returned to Shin and death by torture.
This picks up right where the first book left off with Peasprout coming face to face with Hisashi. This book continues with Peasprout's overly competitive character as her main flaw, particularly as she has to step into a leadership role. The new character, Yinmei is disabled and this is well handled. But she's also a bit of a mystery and Peasprout is very suspicious of her and jealous of her easy acceptance in Peasprout's friend group.
This is the middle book of a trilogy and answers a lot of the questions from the first book and sets up an interesting situation for book three.
