The Librarian Recommends: Young Adult Librarian Martha Sullivan recommends "The Epic Crush of Genie Lo" by F.C. Yee. "This is the summer book blockbuster you've been waiting for. This hilarious mix of Chinese mythology, Kung Fu action, and sarcastic humor will have you alternately laughing and gripping the edge of your seat," she says.
