Zachary Ying and the Dragon Emperor

Written by Xiran Jay Zhao

This book has a lot of pages, so younger readers might not stick with it. I like that you can learn about Chinese myths and culture from this story. I am not a gaming fan, so that didn’t interest me, but people who play video games will like the connection. I liked the adventure and that Zach gets powers.
