The Spindle of Fate

Twelve-year-old Evie Mei Huang never did like helping in her mums tailor shop. She hated dyeing and spooling the thread and how the measuring tape gets all twisted up. Most of all, now that her mother has died, she hates that she isnt here anymore. When the universe sends a life preserver, Evie knows to grab it. So its weird when a talking monkey shows up and tells her that her plain, hardworking tailor mother was actually the head of a guild of magical weavers who control the fate of humanity.
