It is rare to find entertaining historical fiction for children and this succeeds in that endeavor.
Sharon L, Reviewer
Historical fiction set along the famous Silk Road of China brings to life the excitement of the journey. Thirteen year old Chingli decides it is time for independence, and he is drawn to the desert through which the route passes, especially since his father vanished on the Silk Route so many years ago. Danger, royalty, and a bit of mystery make this a fascinating read for those interested in Chinese history.
