A seventh grader with whom I'm working picked this as a required, but free, choice. I'm not sure exactly why he picked the fifth in the Five Ancestors series without having seen any of the others, but I also read 'Tiger,' the first. I'm a bit more linear, I guess. At any rate, I found the writing in 'Tiger' prosaic and featureless at first, and the story flat and plain. But the book began to grow on me. Besides the fact that they're about child kung fu warriors, the popularity of Stone's s

I got interested in this series at school, so I started out with Tiger. The series gets better and better. But I thought that this one was the best because it tells the story about Ying and it gives information about the five. The ending is very sad, but I am not going to give away anything. The beginning of the book is kind of confusing, but it starts to get more exciting. It was one of the best books that I ever read. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

Book five in The Five Ancestors series continues the story from Ying's point of view. Ying and Hok continue to search for the dragon treasure and avoid capture by Tonglong. Ying has been deceived by the Emperor and Tonglong. Is there anyone he can trust? Left with no choice but to trust the very five young monks he tried to kill, Ying continues his search for his past and the treasure. The tale of the young monks continues to flow in a seamless fashion that is not interrupted by every book's cha

This book was from Ying's point of view, the traitor, the evil mastermind behind the destruction of CingZen and the murder of Grand Master. In this book you find out why he did all those things and the anticipation is almost over with the race to find the treasure. Unlike the other books, every second I spent reading this it made moe and more sense. This is the fifth book in the five ancestors series. I suggest you read the others first to help this one make sense and if you like the Lightning T

Ying always hated the grandmaster for denying him the chance to train as a Dragon (he had to study eagle technique), and held a deep resentment for his five younger brothers. He took his revenge and burnt the Cangzhen temple to the ground, but the five survived. And when Ying is betrayed and imprisoned, it is his younger (surprise) sister, Hok, who comes to rescue him. As he struggles to survive he also discovers that his world is not really what he thought, and neither are the people in it.

the book is mainly about ying. he has to save china. he has to unite with hias brothers to do so. he has to first find them to save china.
the book connects to me because it is about uniting. me and my brother and cousins did that whe we were younger. we would go and play a game of cops and robbers. and we would have to unite like in the book to get out of trouble.
i gave this boook 4 stars because it was full of action. i would reccomend this book to people who like action.

This was a great squeal so the others but still i liked the first one. I enjoyed the prospective of former enemy. I can't wait to read the next book... little mouse. Besides enjoying the book, it teaches you some Cantonese language like for example Fu means Tiger.I am vary impressed from these books they are like none I've ever read they are vary fast paced books, that are vary interesting and enjoyable.

this is the ancestors of eagle. Their quest leads them to Ying's mother who reveals the true story of his past and the treasure they seek. The forces of the Emperor, led by Tong Long, overtake them and seize the treasure from a hidden cave. Through a spyglass Ying and Malao see the treasure aboard Tong Long's ship..

Ying is a strong soul who doesn't know what to think anymore, sort of like a lost little boy trying to redeem himself and I love that. Lots of sorrow in his life and learning about the truth from his mother for a short time confuses him more than ever but he keeps pushing on. A great story for all to read!

It was KEENO NIFTY! At a certain point in the book, YIng and Hok kind of start to fall in love. It also reveals more about Ying's hidden nature and his griefs. It was fun and exciting! Hope you'll like it!

Ahh... Now here's a good sequel, but it ends with a cliff-hanger. I can't believe that a certain unnamed party is actually a good guy! I'm trying to give it a good review without spoiling it you see.

This is adolescent reading but I enjoyed the story line (and the simplicity of the reading).
I've read the series (waiting on book 7, Dragon) and have enjoyed them all.

This one was better than crane and snake, but it was a let down because nothing really happened until the last half of the book.

This was my favorite of the books I've read in this series so far, although, again, there are parts of the history behind these characters that is too quickly gone over in this edition. Overall, though, the pacing here went much more quickly than in the other books. It is also interesting to watch events unfold from the perspective of one of the previous texts' villians. If Goodreads let me give half-stars, this would be a four and a half-star text for its interesting reveals, character growt
