During this pandemic we facetime frequently and look at books that I can order and send to her. I picked this one out for her while looking for another book in a series she was reading. I talked to her just last night and she was so excited! The book arrived last week as she was finishing another. She decided to start this one Monday and said, "Grandma! I couldn't put it down!! It was such a good book!! Look how much I read just in one night!!" The bookmark was halfway through the book. She began to tell me the whole story so far and I was amazed at how she was grasping concepts and drama! She's totally enthralled. I love her passion and excitement and hope this author continues to write excellent books that she can enjoy at such a young age. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Korean mythology in space - enchanting middle grade read *by T***F on June 4, 2019* DRAGON PEARL by Yoon Ha Lee is one of the new books on the Rick Riordan Presents imprint, but I’m here to tell you that even if you haven’t read or liked a single Rick Riordan book, you need to get your hands on this one when it releases.Now, the Rick Riordan name is strong and definitely conjures up some associations. I say this with all love, as I generally fill out his name under ‘favorite author’ when forced to choose. But, back to those associations. Generally, you’ll think of kids who are demigods that get prophecies of doom and go on quests to save the world, showering you in fun mythology of varying backgrounds all along the way. For some people, this isn’t interesting. I get it, we all have our genres. DRAGON PEARL is NOT this.The blurb I remember seeing for DRAGON PEARL was “space opera meets Korean mythology.” This encapsulates the book pretty perfectly. DRAGON PEARL is not the contemporary world meets ancient mythology - DRAGON PEARL is an entire Thousand Worlds crafted lovingly out of Korean mythological themes. The mythology is never othered in this compelling story. Rather, it is the foundation and lifeblood for the world and characters. I am not Korean and have no prior knowledge of Korean mythology (other than some commonalities that it has to other East Asian ideas, of course). Despite this, I found myself immersed seamlessly in this world.Thirteen-year-old Min comes from a long line of fox spirits, but her family avoids showing their identity to be supernatural because of prejudices against foxes. She has always lived at home on her impoverished, world of Jinju, but when word comes that her brother Jun is accused of deserting the Space Forces to search for the Dragon Pearl, Min sets off to find her brother and clear his name. Through the twists and turns of this adventure, she will find herself as well.The story is exciting from the start, and even the slower information-gathering sections of the book are still tense with the pressure of dangerous secrets. The ending was unexpected and sets up nicely for what I hope will be a series of stories, but even if this is the end, I’m very happy.Something DRAGON PEARL does well that I appreciate is that it sets up gender variance as an accepted fact of life. Characters wear pronoun pins that tell our protagonist how to refer to them, and that’s all we need. The ideas of prejudice and racism are also touched on in the tension between supernaturals (such as foxes, dragons, tigers, ghosts, and goblins) and humans. Ultimately, Min shows that ALL should be accepted and respected. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Water damage to book, but amazon handled it! *by R***A on February 26, 2020* Super excited to read the book, I love everything by Rick Riordan, and “Rick Riordan Presents” books tend to be just as good! However, the book arrived with water damage. It was mostly to the outside of the book, but I still asked for a replacement. It was quick and easy, no fuss! I’d still recommend this, I doubt it is common to get a damaged book.
