My twelve year old read this book to himself to support our study of Medieval China.
The story begins with Haoyou's father dying. Soon he becomes part of the Jade Circus as a kite rider. Does he dare leave his widowed mother to fend for herself?
My son grudgingly admitted that he really enjoyed this assigned reading! He even read it during his free time.
Lots of excitement and adventure.
He was able to make connections to what he already had learned in history.
*Highly recommend.
Warning: beliefs in communicating with the dead/mediums, cruelty to younger people
