Hey guys this is Halley here and I gotta tell ya you guys are AMAZING just the best, but don't be afraid to use the comment box we wanna know what your thinking and what questions you have alright yea. So I'm gonna do something a little different I'm gonna do a book review for y'all. I just read this amazing book its called Where The Mountain Meets The Moon its on the Iowa Children's choice list and should win. Its kinda like a folktale and there are a lot of Chinese folktales in the book. I know what your thinking folktale really that sounds weird but its so well written and really good.
Where The Mountain Meets The Moon is about a girl named Minli who lives in this really gloomy town where the ground is hard and her and her parents work every day for hours to just get a bowl of plain rice on the table. One day a goldfish man comes to their town and sells goldfish he says that this gold fish will bring luck to any home. So Minli goes into her house and gets one coin from her bowl of two coins and buys a goldfish. When Minlis parents get home they are angry they cant believe that Minli spent her money on something that stupid. Its also another mouth to feed they can barely feed them. So the next night Minli decides to dump the fish in the river. After she dumps the fish in the jade river the fish starts talking. Minli is stunned the fish says he is thankful for putting him back so he says Minli can ask any question. So Minli asks how can I change my fortune the fish says she should ask the old man of the moon. So Minli sets off to find the old man of the moon. Read the book to find out if she finds the old man of the moon and what characters she meets on the way.
