Where the Mountain Meets the Moon / Grace Lin / 278 pages

What is the best way to describe this book?  Satisfying.  Grace Lin artfully weaves Chinese folktales with the story of the young Chinese girl Minli who sets off to seek fortune for her family and finds the true meaning of fortune.  The book itself is beautiful with luscious drawings by Lin and wonderfully crafted design.  Where the Mountain Meets the Moon would make a wonderful read aloud book and great book discussion title.  Highly recommended for grades 3-6.  Can't wait to read the next book...Starry River of the Sky.
