"""Chan's vivid character dialogue and engaging, nicely paced storytelling take readers on a fantastical journey through streets full of history and personal meaning...[An] entertaining adventure featuring plucky kids and a magical creature.""-- ""Booklist"" ""A fast-paced, adventure-filled story that keeps readers on the edge of their seats...encourages children to problem-solve under pressure and in constantly evolving situations. Chan also promotes Chinese culture in his story and compares and contrasts it with the western culture, allowing children who celebrate more than one culture to relate. Highly Recommended."" -- ""CM: Canadian Review of Materials"""
