Her story Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is a story of fantasy crossed with Chinese Folklore. It’s an amazing book with beautiful artwork on the cover and throughout! Grace Lin is also the author of Year of the Dog and Year of the Rat.

Along the way, she even finds a dragon who keeps her company on her quest to find the Old Man on the Moon. On her journey, she encounters an assortment of characters and magical creatures. Minli believes the stories her father tells her and decides to go on a journey to find the Old Man of the Moon, hoping to ask him how her family can change their fortune. Minli’s mother, however, is tired of the poor life they live and gets frustrated with Minli’s father for filling their daughter’s head with such nonsense. Her nights are special to her because that is when she gets to hear her father spin amazing tales about the Old Man of the Moon and the Jade Dragon. The story takes place in the Valley of Fruitless Mountain, where a you girl named Minli spends her days working in the fields. I had the opportunity to review a copy of the book Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin.
