The Five Ancestors—
from the girl’s point of view!
The Five Ancestors, Book #4:
Crane
JEFF STONE
HOK, A CRANE-STYLE Kung Fu master, is also a master at hiding. For the
past 12 years she has hidden the fact that she is a girl from her temple
brothers. Now she must hide in plain sight, for her rogue brother, Ying, and
his army have placed a huge price on her head. Suddenly, she is being
sought by everyone in the countryside eager for the reward. Fortunately,
she manages to make it to Keifeng where she finds her mother and a
“round-eye” with the very funny name of Charles. Together Hok and
Charles start to make some sense of the magnitude of Ying’s plans. And his
plans do not include the survival of the Five Ancestors.
Jeff Stone lives in the Midwest with his wife, their two children, and a python
named Yokwan (Cantonese for “Jade Bangle”). Like the Five Ancestors, he was
adopted as an infant. He began searching for his birth parents when he was 18
and found them 15 years later. He is currently hard at work on the next book
in the Five Ancestors series.
