MYSTERY OF THE MASKED MEDALIST

From two-time Olympic bronze medalists and social media stars Maia and Alex Shibutani comes a fun-filled, fast-paced middle-grade mystery set at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

When Andy and Mika Kudo's journalist parents reveal that their next big assignment will be covering the Olympics in Tokyo, the siblings can't wait to tag along. They plan to stuff their faces with delicious Japanese food, watch every event they can, and most importantly, compete in a wildly popular game called OlympiFan. The prize is a coveted spot as a game tester with the app's developer, and the competition is stiff.

Once they touch down in Japan, Andy and Mika immediately throw themselves into the game, racing against the other teams to hunt down virtual medals hidden throughout the city. While Andy's only focus is on climbing up the OlympiFan leaderboard, Mika has a secret goal of her own: enter and win a social media photography contest. But soon, it becomes clear that one of the players is sabotaging the Kudos and using Mika's secret to blackmail her. Now, they must work with their friends to discover who is determined to ruin their chance at winning the gold.


Siblings Maia and Alex Shibutani are two-time Olympic bronze medalists, three-time world medalists, Four Continents Champions, and two-time U.S. National Champions.
