SHINTO SECRET 

Keiko Jones has a secret, but she's not the only one.  Rumor has it her Japanese grandpa, a techno-wizard obsessed with fractal geometry as well as the spirit world, was perfecting a mysterious invention before his untimely death.  Now Grandma has disappeared, and the Yakuza Mob wants in on the family secrets. 
As Keiko navigates her ancestors' culture to save Grandma and protect Grandpa's legacy, she teams up with her Shinto priest cousin.  But is he keeping a secret too?
