This a story with Chinese folklore and a Wizard of Oz aspect that makes it hard to put down. It’s about a girl who lives in a poor village and goes to seek her fortune by traveling to see the man in the moon. Along the way she meets a dragon that can’t fly and a cast of characters, some that help and some that hinder her. There are short stories interwoven in the main story on different Chinese folklore that flows well with the main character and her quest.
I enjoyed the way the author tied in the folklore and made the story complete with no loose ends. It had a good moral aspect to it, to be thankful for what you have and appreciate your family and friends, which is always good to be reminded of. I highly recommend this book for all ages but especially for those who enjoy light fantasy adventures.
