Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
By Grace Lin
Far away from here, following the Jade River, there was once a black mountain called Fruitless Mountain. It was called Fruitless Mountain because nothing would grow on it and no bird or animal lived there. Next to this mountain was a small brown, dull, muddy village where a young girl named Minli lived with her mother and father. Minli, whose name means quick thinking, was not brown and dull like the rest of her village. She had pink cheeks, glossy black hair, a flashing smile, and shining eyes that were always looking for an adventure. Hoping to find the answer to how she might bring good fortune to her family, Minli sets out to find the Never-Ending Mountain and the Old Man in the Moon. Along the way she meets a talking goldfish, visits cities of wonder, gets help from a powerful King, and meets magical friends …including a dragon!
