More from Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park.
The Newbery Medal-winning tale of an orphan boy whose dream of becoming a master potter leads to unforeseen adventure in ancient Korea. A powerful, multilayered novel about a girl determined to fit in and realize her dreams: getting an education, becoming a dressmaker in her father’s shop, and making at least one friend. Sun-hee and her brother, Tae-yul, live in Korea. When Tae-yul enlists in the Japanese army to protect Uncle, who is suspected of aiding the Korean resistance, Sun-hee stays behind, entrusted with the life-and-death secrets of a family at war. This touching and suspenseful story, filled with the authentic detail and flavor of traditional Korean kite fighting, brings a remarkable setting vividly to life. The powerful tale of a sheltered girl, endlessly curious about what lies beyond the walls of her family’s Inner Court, and her daring attempts to enlarge her world.
