Trini Kwan is trying to get through high school unnoticed. Nobody knows that she has trained for years in martial arts, and she prefers to let her classmates think she's just the shy Asian girl.

But Trini's world turns upside down when the homecoming game is attacked by an otherworldly winged beast with an army of clay soldiers. Unable to sit by while innocent people get hurt, Trini springs into action--alongside science genius Billy, her childhood best friend Zack, popular jock Jason, and new girl Kimberly.

In the aftermath, the five teenagers are recruited by an alien warrior named Zordon to become the new Power Rangers, charged with protecting the planet from an evil sorceress who recently escaped imprisonment. Suddenly thrust in the middle of a millenniums-long intergalactic war is hard enough, but getting her new teammates to work together proves to be a difficult task.

Can Trini help the others move past their rocky first impressions--and her own complicated history with Zack--to protect their home from destruction? And will she be able to finally accept her full self--and this new role?
