First line: “He’s hideous,” said Malcolm.
Why you should read this book: Li-la is not like the other
girls in her English village; she is one-quarter Chinese, and every year her
Great Uncle sends her a beautiful Chinese treasure on her birthday. This year,
she receives the unusual green satin Fu-dog, who can talk, shares with her
amazing details about her Chinese heritage, and promises to take her to London
to meet the rest of her family. Dragging along her reluctant brother, Malcolm,
Li-la and Fu-dog take a magical
adventure to Chinatown and learn what is truly important in life.
Why you shouldn’t read this book: You don’t believe in
dragons or magical talking dogs.
