Where the Mountain Meets the Moon

by Grace Lin

     Encouraged by the stories her father tells her, young Minli embarks on a remarkable journey to meet the Old Man of the Moon, a wise man who knows everything.  She is desperate to know how to change her family's fortune, for they live in misery.  Along the way, she meets a dragon who journeys with her, a talking fish who helps her, and a powerful king who deceives all.  It is a story about the bonds of family, the secret to happiness, and the insidious nature of envy, jealousy, and want.

  1. I loved this book! The story is heart-warming and the illustrations are beautiful. Grace Lin has another good book called, "Year of the Dog." She's a great author!
