This Newbery Honor book features magic,
adventure, friendship, and even a dragon who can''t fly!
In the valley of Fruitless Mountain, a young
girl named Minli lives in a ramshackle hut with her parents. In the
evenings, her father regales her with old folktales of the Jade
Dragon and the Old Man on the Moon, who knows the answers to all of
life''s questions. Inspired by these stories, Minli sets off on an
extraordinary journey to find the Old Man on the Moon to ask him
how she can change her family''s fortune. She encounters an assorted
cast of characters and magical creatures along the way, including a
dragon who accompanies her on her quest for the ultimate
answer.
Grace Lin, author of the beloved Year of the Dog
and Year of the Rat, returns with a wondrous story of adventure,
faith, and friendship. A fantasy crossed with Chinese folklore,
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is a timeless story reminiscent
of The Wizard of Oz. Her beautiful illustrations, printed in
full-color, accompany the text throughout. Once again, she has
created a charming, engaging book for young readers.

To my Readers，
Hello! Thanks so much for your interest in me and my
books!
I grew up in Upstate NY with my parents and 2 sisters, whom are
featured in many of my books, including "Dim Sum For Everyone!" and
my novels, "The Year of the Dog" and "The Year of the Rat." My
mother and I were the star characters in my first book, "The Ugly
Vegetables"--I cut both my sisters out of that story! They were
quite upset with me and made me promise never to cut them out
again. And since then, I haven''t...yet.
While many of my books highlight my family, not all of them do. My
Newbery Honor-winning novel "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon," is
an Asian inspired fantasy that some people call a Chinese ''Wizard
of Oz,'' and my early reader "Ling Ting" is inspired by the
old ''Flicka, Dicka Ricka'' books I read when I was
young.
I hope you enjoy my books. Please visit my website:

and pictures as well as other amusing anecdotes!
