I loved this story! As the second book in the series, it can stand on its own. I never felt like I was missing anything, even though I haven’t read the first book. The cliff hanger is a great segway to the next book.
This story does a great job of exploring emotions, reactions, and relationships of teenagers. I can’t wait to see how the characters grow in the next story.

Pahua is hoping to go school to learn how to a shaman, to use the gifts she has inherited as the reincarnation of Shee Yee, instead she sets off to fix the second seal of that is binding the destructive Xov. Her talking cat spirit, Miv, and Zhong, a friend/shaman-in-training and a young dragon help her on her quest.
Pahua is a great heroine. I especially love how much she deals with all the actual physical pain she goes through yet can still joke about spirit realm medical bills. It is wonderful to watch her grow into the gifts she has as Pahua and incorporate them with the gifts of Shee Yee.

Thank you to NetGalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide for this DRC.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This was an action packed adventure filled with dragons and other mythical creatures. I like that Pahua and her friends still keeps trying regardless of the costs.

I enjoyed the second installment of Pahua Moua. It is definitely going on my classroom bookshelf and will be recommended to my students.

i have been looking forward to this book and it was absolutely worth it i loved every single second yessssssss

Pahua and the Dragon's secret was a fun adventure tale much like all the books in the Rick Riordans Presents series. I enjoyed the fast pace, the humor and the Studio Ghibli Spirited Away vibes. As with the first book in the series, the tale stays true to the Hmong culture and I enjoyed learning even more about it. It was a quick read. The characters are relatable and the book can be enjoyed by anyone adult or child.
