Twelve-year-old Lizzie Chu has lived with her Wai Gong (grandfather) in Glasgow since her parents died when she was a baby. But Wai Gong has been acting different lately. He spends a lot of time talking to his Guan Yin statuethe Chinese goddess of compassion, kindness, and mercyat his altar and seems to be becoming more forgetful. Even the shared passion he and Lizzie have for their favorite show,Strictly Come Dancing, seems to be tailing off.
When Lizzies friend Chi visits one day dressed as Princess Leia for Comic Con, Wai Gong mistakes her for Guan Yin, and is naturally delighted, and Lizzie seizes the opportunity to use Chi as Guan Yin to help her with her grandad. And then Lizzie gets an idea: she and Chi can take Wai Gong to Blackpool to the Tower Ballroom, where hed always dreamed of going. If only she can get her grandad there, she thinks, hell find some peace, and perhaps things will be OK at home again. After all, one of the myths around Guan Yin is that she brings order and harmony, so its got to work outright?
