Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In Korea in the early 1800s, news from the countryside reached the king by means of signal fires. On one mountaintop after another, a fire was lit when all was well. If the king did not see a fire, that meant trouble, and he would send out his army. Linda Sue Park's first picture book for Clarion is about Sang-hee, son of the village firekeeper. When his father is unable to light the fire one night, young Sang-hee must take his place. Sang-hee knows how important it is for the fire to be lit-but he wishes that he could see soldiers . . . just once. Mountains, firelight and shadow, and Sunhee's struggle with a hard choice are rendered in radiant paintings, which tell their own story of a turning point in a child's life. Afterword. About the AuthorThe 2002 Newbery Medal Winner of A Single Shard, Linda Sue Park has written professionally for years, but it was not until she delved into writing for younger readers that she discovered and connected with her Korean heritage. Ms. Park earned degrees in English Literature from Stanford University, Trinity College, Dublin, and the University of London. She lives in New York with her husband and two children. Her other acclaimed titles include: The Kite Fighters, Seesaw Girl, and coming this spring, When My Name Was Keoko.
