Critics Review
“This is an appealing and unique contribution to the folklore canon intended for this age group and should fill gaps in school and public library collections.”–Booklist
“Hwang chronicles the rich world of Chinese mythology in this expansive collection… .

Together, the collaborators deliver a digestible, carefully curated accounting of legendary battles and epic romances while also offering insight into why many still worship these gods today.”
–Publishers Weekly
