Chinese New Year is an incredibly misunderstood holiday. Legend has it that there is a demon that wakes every year seeking human flesh, and it can only be frightened away by bright red color and loud noises. Thus, the Chinese hang red paper on all their window and doors, and set off fire crackers each year. The legend is only partially true. The demon is real. But it seeks only Asian flesh. This time one is roaming China Town in New York City, looking for Chinese folk to kill and eat. And those that do not follow the New Year's traditions, the modern unbelievers of magic and monsters, are easy prey. It is up to Bai Nian Chen to prepare Gulinger Private Academy before it finds a way in. And if it does somehow get in, are the kids at Gulinger High up to the challenge?
