WHERE THE MOUNTAIN MEETS THE MOON is a sparkling story of a young girl who wants to help her struggling parents by bringing good fortune to the family.

Minli sets off on an adventure determined to find the Old Man of the Moon. This man is said to bring good luck and fortune to people, and Minli and her family desperately need it. Her mother is always complaining about being poor, and her father keeps things joyful by telling imaginative stories.

While on her journey, Minli meets a handful of quirky, amazing characters, including a talking fish and a flightless dragon who help her in her quest to find the Old Man.

Minli is a heroine in a story that is part fantasy, part real life. The author weaves magical ideas and characters together that add another element to an already sweet story, making this one a novel that you don't want to miss.

This was a beautiful book. The illustrations, the chapter drawings, the cover and all the fable-type stories within the story. Both of my kids and myself thoroughly enjoyed this book. Listening to the audiobook was entertaining, but I'm glad that we read along, or we would have missed all the drawings throughout the book. A great read, and great morals. This is one that we'll most likely do again and again.
