by Jeanne M Lee This book's ending is unsatisfying. Everything wraps up too quickly and too neatly. I also didn't like how the old woman is referred to as "the hunchback" throughout the text.
Mu Lan hears the calls to arms for her father and she wants to go instead of him, but she is not a man. So she disguises herself as a man and goes to war for him.A nice telling of the legend of Mu Lan. The pictures were nice too.
