Xander
Miyamoto
should
be
feeling
great.
It's
the
beginning
of
summer
vacation,
his
mother
has
returned
from
a
long
absence,
and
he
has
learned
that
he
is
a
warrior
with
special
powers.
Xander
never
would
have
guessed
that
the
old
Japanese
folktale
about
Momotaro,
the
hero
who
sprang
from
a
peach
pit,
wasreal,
much
less
part
of
his
own
heritage.
But
instead
of
reveling
in
his
recent
victory
against
theoni,
monsters
bent
on
creating
chaos,
Xander
is
feeling
resentful.
What
took
his
mother
so
long
to
come
back?
Why
does
his
father
insist
on
ruining
the
summer
with
study
and
training?
And
why
is
Xander
plagued
by
nightmares
every
night?
Maybe
this
whole
Momotaro
thing
is
overrated.
Xander's
grandmother
gives
him
a
special
baku
charm
to
use
to
chase
his
nightmares
away.
He
just
has
to
be
careful
not
to
rely
on
it
too
much.
If
he
does,
the
baku
will
not
only
take
his
dreams,
but
those
of
everyone
in
the
house,
forever.
Without
dreams,
there
is
no
hope,
no
motivation,
no
imagination,
no
Momotaro.
And
then
it
would
be
far
too
easy
for
Ozuno,
king
of
the
oni,
to
wreak
havoc.
.
.
.
On
his
second
quest,
Xander
explores
new
surreal
landscapes,
encounters
more
strange
and
dangerous
creatures,
and
faces
even
higher
stakes
as
he
learns
whether
or
not
he
has
what
it
takes
to
be
Momotaro.
