This was another summer reading book for school. It wasn't a book I would typically pick up to read but there was a lot of good information in it. I probably wouldn't read it ever again but anyone who likes learning about ancient China would love this book!
Another 7th grade summer reading book - that Emma didn't chose to read but I did- hard, long, meandering and sometimes boring read.

My son had to read this for school and it seemed interesting and it was. I learned a little about China and some of its history.
I didn't make it too far in this one. Cricket fighting is only so interesting, and I had no idea it could be so gory.
This strangely stuck with me. Myseventh grade techer read this to us, but it has soe cool scenes.
This was a good book that i read back in 8th grade. I thought it was pretty interesting.
Remember this book from my childhood. <3
