Saints by Gene Luen Yang
4.0
This book recommended to me by a friend after I praised Yang’s most famous work, “American Born Chinese.” This book was equally is good. It is half of a two-part series that retells the story of the Boxer Rebellion in 19th century China. In this one, the protagonist, Four-Girl, wants to become a “devil.” When she sees a Christian missionary destroy idols, she thinks that becoming a Christian is the ultimate way to become a devil. She then starts having visions of Joan of Arc.
This book was very well done. It seems simple on the surface, but there’s some real depth here.
