Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Minli's desire, to find the Old Man of the Moon and ask him how to change her family's fortune, sparks her quest to find Never-Ending Mountain. Grace Lin evokes folklore motifs to frame Minli's journey, and everyone Minli meets also has a tale to tell. These folktales within a folktale comprise a very enjoyable read, as each tale informs the larger story of Minli and her village. Full color illustrations by Lin add to the reader's enjoyment.
