Book Reviews of Lady of Ch'iao Kuo: Warrior of the South, Southern China, A.D. 531
Book Review: A Girl Looks For Peace
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is about a Hsien Princess who goes through troubled times. She is sent to a Chinese settlement to learn how to speak, read, and write Chinese from her teacher, Master Chen. At the town she is named Princess Redbird, but is regarded to as a savage. Soon a hostile tribe called the Dog Heads start attacking the Hsien and the Chinese colonists. Princess Redbird is called upon to be an interpreter.They form an alliance but soon find there is a traitor in thier midst; For Princess Redbird's father's group is ambushed and killed. Her brother, Little Tiger, is named king. Soon the Chinese settlement was overrun by the Dog Heads. She sneaks there to find her Chinese family had been enslaved or killed, including her beloved teacher, Master Chen. Princess Redbird has to collect the broken pieces, defeat the Dog Heads, and uncover the traitor. During all this she finds time to read. She reads about Master Meng and how he describes peace, though it doesn't seem real to her. In her reading she was able to come up with an idea to defeat the Dog Heads. All she needed was careful planning and a little bit of magic. You must read this book to see how the brave princess defeated the Dog Heads and bring peace to her people and the Chinese. I never knew there had been a South China monarchy. I also didn't know there had been feuding tribs in South China. This book is a great learning source and I would recommend it to any reader.
