Book Synopsis

Ms. Marvel trips into a mystery that brings her from Jersey City to Lahore, Pakistan, and back again, all on a chase for a magical artifact in this adventure from Marvel Press.

Kamala Khan is Jersey City's premier super hero, Ms. Marvel! She's stretched between going to the mosque, posting Avengers fanfic on the internet, and fighting crime.

But then a clash ends with a pair of priceless spectacles in the wrong hands--Ms. Marvel's! Now she's on a mission to return them to where they belong, once she's figured out where that is. A mysterious new bad guy drops hints at magical secrets the spectacles hold, setting Ms. Marvel on a quest to Lahore, Pakistan. It's the trip of a lifetime, seeing the land of her father's youth, but Kamala is forced to grapple with what to do when the choice between right and wrong isn't so clear.
