## Description

Review: "What is China but a people and their stories?" - One of the strengths of a graphic novel is the author's ability to literally show readers how characters see the world. Little Bao is at the cusp of adolescence when he first begins to understand the profound ways in which China is being changed through the growing imperial presence of the West. In his child-like imagination, he sees heroes and gods working around, with and through him. As he enters adolescence, these characters inspire him to first join and later lead members of the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious First - the "Boxers." Yang does a tremendous job of showing the causes of the Boxer Rebellion through the eyes of Little Bao - the humiliations suffered not only by the Chi'ng dynasty, but by average Chinese as well at the hands of Western imperialists. The tragedy for all concerned (both Westerners and Chinese) is graphically (pardon the pun) illustrated. (Sorry - couldn't help it.) It is a great introduction to an event that to many outside China is sadly unfamiliar. For those seeking a more detailed historical account of the Boxer Rebellion, I recommend The Boxer Rebellion: The Dramatic Story of China's War on Foreigners that Shook the World in the Summer of 1900 - although it has a decidedly "western" orientation.
Review: Great story - Love this book. Illustrations make this book a quick and easy read, while the story itself is very moving. Glad I read it.
