4.0

If only every historical event could have a graphic novel...I'd learn so much. Loved this companion to BOXERS, which tells the other side of the story about the Boxer Rebellion in China. Here, our hero is a Chinese girl who is outcast by her family and takes up Christianity as a way to find peace. She's visited by the ghost of Joan of Arc and is inspired to become a fighter in the cause.

This companion book is a bit easier to follow than its predecessor but less colorful (perhaps a nod to the religious tone of the characters?)
