Boxers
by Gene Luen Yang
I came into this book knowing nothing about China's Boxer Rebellion. I was a little surprised by the amount of fantasy that is woven into this story; I thought it would be more factually based. But it does present a general picture of some of the conditions that led to the rebellion, and it made me curious about the more factual aspects. I will probably use this as a springboard for further inquiry.
One thing I liked about having this book and its companion, Saints, is that it provides an interesting insight into two different perspectives on the same event. Compared to this volume, Saints feels a little slender; but these would make a good paired text set for student discussions.
