Liz is an ordinary 14 year old girl. She has an annoying brother, boring (and embarrassing) parents and a crush on her best friend's older brother. She also attends environmental protests and takes karate lessons. It was during one of these protests, she, her brother and her friend see two amazing things. Amazing thing #1: When an ancient rock was destroyed, monsters and vampires came streaming out of it. Amazing thing #2: Their karate instructor comes to their rescue and nearly gets killed helping them.

hey brush it off and head home. When they go to sleep that night, all three teenagers are met by the instructor and are schooled in every form of karate/meditation/dialects of Chinese and a personal weapon. Henry, it is a sword that has green light emitting from it. Sue has a golden ring that expands and duplicates. Liz....she wields a calligraphy pen.

Then begins the adventure of a lifetime. From battling backpack vampires and monsters to learning that they were predestined to fight evil to the final scenes, this book takes you on a wild ride.

I did like the book, alot, and thought it was ready well written. I just didn't like the kids' characters until the last couple of chapters. Liz, Henry and Sue got on my nerves. Actually, mainly Sue got on my nerves. All she did (until the end) was scream/cry and have to be rescued. I wanted to reach into the book and go "Girlfriend, you were taught these powers. Flipping use them!!!!!".

Will I reccomend this book to family and friends? Yes

Will I read this book again? Yes.
