This book can be intermediate or primary level because of the way it is written and the story. The story is of immigration and a girl is moving with her family from Vietnam to America. However, her Popo(grandmother) is not coming with them. They use facetime to talk, and she visits after adapting to living in America. The little girl learns a lot from her Popo, but she gets sick and passes away. The little girl still sees her in her dreams.

Disney and Magic Yes Please!



Can I just say that this was pure joy to read. This year has been a rough year for me and books. I have had so much fun reading this that it made me feel like a kid again. Firstly, when I requested this book I had no idea that it was part of a Duo. That being said you can read this as a stand alone and be perfectly fine I was.

As a longtime fan of mythology, history, and Disney, I was absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to review a great book from Disney Hyperion. The author did such a beautiful job of bringing ancient China to life in such a vivid and magical way. The balance the author struck between the Disney story we know and the historical accuracy. The setting of the narrative felt so alive and the author’s style of writing took on a very cinematic tone, allowing readers to read and bring to life this adventure in their mind’s eye. I can see this as a continued screen play with lots more action to boot.

The character development was outstanding in this novel. The way the author delved into Mulan as a person when confronted with her new reality was amazing, as was her relationship with Shang. Not only did the narrative do a great job of tackling the issues of equality amongst the women warriors and showing the balance one must find between showing strength and courage in the face of adversity without losing who they are inside. This book does such a beautiful job showing me and young readers that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being feminine and strong in equal measure. I will be buying my niece a copy of both books when she is a bit older. All young people should read the strength and beauty within these pages. A 5 Star Read all the way! # I Am Totally Obsessed!

I really loved this read!! I thought this was a great sequel read. I loved how this book was some politicaly focsued and was focused less on the romance. It was not what i expected this book to be. But i loved seeing how this book made the character develop in the read!! I also loved seeing how mulan became a true hero in this read, but in such a diferent way then the previous book. It was such a great read and one that made me feel like i saw more of mulan story!

I thought this book was very good. I thought it was a very strong mix between the cinder series and ember in the ashes. I really enjoyed not only the lead characters but also the plot. I thought the world building was done so well and It was easy to become invested in these characters. I enjoyed how this story avoided the insta love issue and made for interesting story. I did think the book had slow moments but overall I was captured from page one. I am very invested in where this series goes in book two!… (mer)
