Boxers by Gene Luen Yang

4.0

I'm becoming a big fan of Gene Luen Yang! Boxers is the story of China in the 1890s. Little Bao and other commoners harness the power of kung fu and ancient gods to fight the foreign presence in their towns and cities. I enjoyed this book because of how fluidly Gene Luen Yang tells the story of such a complex time. I also enjoyed the illustrations. I would recommend this book to students who want to read graphic novels about issues and experiences outside their own lives.
