The Kite Fighters by Linda Sue Park

Set in Seoul, Korea in 1473, two brothers find their way in the traditional way of life during that time period.
Young-sup must deal with always being second born and Kee-sup must learn how to endure the expectations of the eldest.
Kite flying and the annual kite fight bring the two brothers together.
Excellent historical fiction and development of characters.
Strategies:Inferring-Figurative language-similes and metaphors, synthesizing, asking questions
