Twelve-year-old Sam Golay has a plan for her thirteenth birthday: throw the coolest, most awesome, least-Filipino party the world has ever seen.

That means absolutely no adobo, no weird traditions, and definitely no Filipino karaoke songs in front of her VIP guest, Brielle. But her birthday plans come crashing down when her grandmother freezes time in their living room and reveals a little family secret: Gram isn't just a forgetful old lady-she is the ancient Filipino Goddess of Lost Things.

And she needs a sidekick.

Batala, the Supreme God, has a crisis: His three daughters (the goddesses of the Moon, Stars, and Morning) have been kidnapped by Sitan, the ruler of the Underworld, threatening to plunge the Philippines into eternal darkness. Now, Sam must travel to the motherland to help Gram retrieve the missing deities before Sitan's army of monsters takes over for good.

Accompanied by their star-struck taxi driver and armed with nothing but a futuristic flashlight and her wits, Sam must battle giant serpents, outsmart cigar-smoking Dwendes, and dodge terrifying Manananggals (vampire ladies who can split their bodies in half!)
 
With just seven days to save the goddesses and the Philippines (and make it home in time for her birthday bash), Sam must uncover the truth about her family and discover where she truly belongs.
 
Filipino mythology collides with modern day mayhem in this hilarious and heartwarming adventure about identity, family, and finding yourself.
