Cute and quaint. Not much action, but a pleasant read. A family book club pick.

This is a cute, innocent read, and makes for a good audiobook. There are some parts that feel a bit culturally insensitive, though- ie, stereotypical Chinese characterizations.

This didn't age particularly well but I don't recall reading it as a child so I didn't have any nostalgia. It was fine.

This is a very enjoyable read... but unfortunately it often slips from my mind not long after reading.
