Launch Event:
Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven
Prepare for mischief, monkeys, mythology—and more! We're thrilled to be hosting award-winning filmmaker and artist ALINA CHAU for the launch of her mythological monkey middle grade graphic novel, Monkey King: Uproar in Heaven!
Sun Wukong wasn’t born in the usual way—he hatched from an egg. With a shape-shifting staff, a cloud he can ride like lightning, and an unstoppable belief in himself, Wukong isn’t just another monkey . . . he’s the Monkey King.
When word of his wild powers reaches the Heavenly Realm, the gods try to keep him close to prevent any chaos. But Wukong didn’t come all this way to play by someone else’s rules.

Drawing from classic Chinese adventure Journey to the West, this bright new adaptation centers the Monkey King’s wild beginnings and brings one of mythology’s most unforgettable troublemakers to life in a whole new way. Join us as we celebrate its release!
Saturday, September 12th at 2pm at Our 17th St Store!
