Jade Dragons

by Florence Wightman Rowland

If Wong Ting- a river boy in China - had extra coins, he would buy a copper kettle for his mother and a desperately needed new fishing net for his father. For himself, Wong Ting wanted something money could not buy. In his heart was a secret wish. Only he knew what it was: Wong Ting wanted to walk on land.

My 6, 9, 10 and 12-year-old children really enjoyed this book. While it is simple and often without a lot of detail it is also full of adventure. It brought up some great discussions on how people live, choices people make and traditions.

Thank you to the Good & The Beutiful for giving me this book!

It was good, I really admired Wong Ting... he cared so much about his family & when he imagined them becoming rich, all of that money he imagined being used for his family 😭

This book was good but not great. I like that the protagonist dreams came true. It was good as a companion to our history lessons on China.
