Minli lives in the shadow of Fruitless Mountain. Her family barely grows enough rice to feed themselves, but Minli buys a goldfish on impulse. When her mother criticizes her purchase, she sets her pet free and decides to change the family fortune by finding the Old Man of the Moon.
Grace Lin’s book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon reads like a novel-length Chinese folktale with shorter tales in between. Her artwork enhances this impression.
I have been a Grace Lin fan since the year my niece was adopted from Taiwan, and I have enjoyed buying and sharing her books ever since.
This book is most appropriate for grades 3-6 or a read aloud to a younger child.
