Description by Author:
Long ago, Alex was cursed by a witch. Every

very popular. Will Alex's secret be discovered after years of hiding it?
About
the Author:
Michael
Feng is from Taiwan. He lived in Boston up until he was three when he moved to
Hong Kong due to his father’s job transition. His global vision was gradually
broadened. At the age of six, he developed a strong passion for story writing
and began composing short stories. He has dreamed of becoming an author ever
since then.
When
Michael was seven, he suffered from HSP, an immune system disease, for half a
year. He then began his journey as a homeschooler. After getting rid of his
busy school life, he was blessed with more time to pursue his interests: reading
and writing. He read over a hundred books in a single month during his illness.
Some of his favorite reads include the Famous Five series, the Harry Potter
series, the Percy Jackson series, the Inheritance Cycle, the Sherlock Holmes
series, and the works of Jules Verne. His favorite movie series include the
Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DC Extended Universe, and the X-Men movies.
He
has always wondered why there isn’t a classic superhero book series suitable
for children—most adult ones include graphic violence, swearing, and sexual
content. Thus, he began to develop a new breed of heroes himself and published
his debut novel—The Rise of a Golden Lion—when he was twelve.
There
will be four books in the series, which will be called “The SHRIKE series.” The
first book introduces the mutation process of Golden Lion Man and his reluctant
adventures. The second novel will be centered around Shark Man’s past and will
be out in a few months. If you or your kids also like Marvel movies, but you
hope to find something else to read aside from comic books, definitely check it
out!
