a really delightful story, I love the structure as it is interspersed tales that the characters themselves are hearing throughout the journey. everything is all connected in the end and we really see the characters shine!
I loved this book. I love learning about myths from the Asian culture. I love how the blurb related this to the Wizard of Oz, and I can see that relationship. MeiLi is on a quest, a journey. Like Dorothy, she realizes she doesn't need anything from an outside source. She has the power within.
This is such a lovely tone. The culture is celebrated and the importance of family is here and I love how nature plays into the story so intricately. I enjoy the people she meets along the way and the story with the monkeys made me laugh. That was a great resolve the book did. They characters were unique and distinct. I thought this was well executed.
I will be reading more books by Grace Lin. This was fantastic for anyone who loves Mythology.

where the mountain meets the moon is a magical story that is memorable for all ages. all the various characters minli encounters in her journey tie together in the end, making a pleasant conclusion. the final image of minli smiling at the moon is both mystical and gentle.
This was really wonderful to read—I'm glad it was assigned in my kidlit class! With its beautiful illustrations, and lovely story based off Chinese mythology, I definitely give a thumbs up to this MG fantasy. :)
