Book Synopsis
What happens when origami paper models magically spring to life? This exciting graphic novel tells the story of Aya Wada, a teenage girl who visits her relatives in Japan and unknowingly adopts a powerful feline Kami spirit named Neko, who follows her home to America. Each chapter tells an amusing story about how Neko brings Aya's folded origami paper models to life--literally! Follow along as Aya and Neko create magic, memories and a little mayhem wherever they go:- Neko reveals her existence on the return trip from Japan, helping Aya conjure up her first enchanted origami
- Aya folds a paper cockroach that scuttles across the floor of the school cafeteria, creating utter chaos!
- A paper dove pulled from a magician's hat during a talent show becomes an attacking bird demon!
- An origami fortune-teller model projects weird and wonderful images on Aya's bedroom ceiling
- Neko produces an animated paper puppet to illustrate how the spirit world can intersect with origami
- Aya and Neko team up to use their magical-origami talents to comfort a distraught preschooler at the playground
Each chapter includes instructions for a simple origami model that readers can fold using the illustrated tear-out folding papers that are included at the back of the book.
