Publisher's summary

This stunning fantasy inspired by Chinese folklore is a companion novel to Starry River of the Sky and the New York Times best-selling and National Book Award finalist When the Sea Turned to Silver.

In the valley of Fruitless mountain, a young girl named Minli lives in a ramshackle hut with her parents. In the evenings, her father regales her with old folktales of the Jade Dragon and the Old Man on the Moon, who knows the answers to all of life's questions. Inspired by these stories, Minli sets off on an extraordinary journey to find the Old Man on the Moon to ask him how she can change her family's fortune. She encounters an assorted cast of characters and magical creatures along the way, including a dragon who accompanies her on her quest for the ultimate answer.

Grace Lin, author of the beloved Year of the Dog and Year of the Rat, returns with a wondrous story of adventure, faith, and friendship. A fantasy crossed with Chinese folklore, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon is a timeless story reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz and Kelly Barnhill's The Girl Who Drank the Moon. Once again, she has created a charming, engaging book for young listeners.

Beautifully written story.

This is a fairytale for adults. It would be equally enjoyed by older children, if read to them. Philosophical, wisdom, promoting, and creative.

A story to listen to over and over

This is a wonderful story that you can listen to again and again and enjoy just as well the fourth time as the first.

Fantastic story and performance

My daughter loved this book, and so did I. She kept requesting just one more chapter. The performance was calm yet expressive, making it a perfect story to listen to just before bedtime. Highly recommend.

My granddaughter read this as her 5th grade book

I decided I should read it as well, and am so glad I did. I will probably read it again. I write and I love how the plot was revealed, story after story. This device is new to me. My granddaughter found it curious and revealing as well. The telling was lyrical and enchanting. The narrator did well. Thank you for offering this book on audible.
