Why read it?
1 author picked The Dragon Warrior as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Katie Zhao’s Dragon Warrior series features characters from Chinese mythology and incorporates them into our contemporary world in a fun, humorous adventure. Think Percy Jackson meets Journey to the West. You might recognize some of the same characters from Girl Giant and the Monkey King because Vietnamese and Chinese cultures have lots of similarities!

From Van's list on on or with elements of Asian mythology.
