This was a sweet little book. It can't beat [b: Where the Mountain Meets the Moon|5983694|Where the Mountain Meets the Moon|Grace Lin|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1344265026s/5983694.jpg|6157354], but I still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the stories within the stories. While they were annoying at f...
I enjoyed this book, just not as much as the other two in the series. Grace Lin has a gift for descriptive writing (eg describing eating spicy food as feeling as if the character had "sneezed the sun"). There were a few things in the book that I found strange though.* Mainly the fact that Pacy m...
I really enjoyed The Year of the Dog, and The Year of the Rat is a great sequel. Grace Lin’s books remind me of the Yang family series: true-to-life observations about what it is to be an Asian kid growing up in America.

The story itself was a bit slow to start off as Rendi runs away from home and comes across the Village of Clear Sky. Rendi realizes that he needs to find a job...
I loved this! A combination of what felt like Chinese fairy tales and the adventures of a delightfully intelligent and brave heroine plus spectacularly gorgeous color paintings throughout the book made this whole experience thoroughly delightful.Favorite Quotes"Stories are not foolish.""You lose on...
This was a good book. I really enjoyed reading Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. It is a enjoyable read for grades 4-7. Grace Lin combines Chinese legends and folklore with her own imagination in this book. It is the tale of a young girl named Minli. She is fascinated by her father's stories. But ...
