I read this with my kids about 6 months ago. This was a book that the entire elementary school read together last school year and so I read several chapters with the kids each night. It was really good and could have easily gotten a 9/10. I went with the 8/10 just because it is elementary level reading after all and some minor writing stylistic issues. But it was an enjoyable story mixing in several old Chinese folktales and was actually quite touching at the end. The selflessness of the main character was pretty inspiring. The whole book had this gentleness about it that I quite enjoyed. Overall a good experience reading this together with the whole crew.
