Boxers
by Gene Luen Yang
Joint Review for Boxers and Saints
These were intriguing historical fiction graphic novels that portrayed the Boxer Rebellion. I feel like I learned a lot reading both Boxers and Saints; and, after reading, I researched more about the events which revealed how many details Yang was able to incorporate throughout both novels. I love that historical fiction like this is so accessible, especially to younger readers, and leads to more interest in actual events. Yang did a great job depicting the Chinese culture and also the Christian influence at the time. The tone was quite somber which fits with what happened. Both novels were educational and I look forward to reading more of Yang’s work.
