Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Mingyi is trapped. If she doesn't marry the bandit Soong Ling, he will ruin her family's business — and her life!

Confused and desperate, she can think of only one person to help her: the legendary Wu Mei, the "beautiful warrior." Once before the astonishing kung fu master had helped Mingyi fight off a thief. Could Wu Mei defend her again?

The master agrees to help, but not in the way the young woman expects. Instead, Mingyi is given a one-year crash course in kung fu philosophy and technique, which gives her not only the strength to defend herself against her bully of a suitor, but a way of life.

Today the methods named after Wu Mei and her most famous pupil are the most popular forms of kung fu taught around the world.

Review:

"Historical yet energetic, this will make for a vigorous readaloud (one you may want to save until just before recess)." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (Starred Review)

Review:

"Celebrating discipline and inner strength while retelling legends connected with styles of kung fu, this story authentically recreates a period of Chinese history and gives readers not one but two lively heroines." School Library Journal (Starred Review)
