Children will love to travel the wall with Ming as this delightful adventure brings to life the Great Wall and how it as influenced China over its 2000-year life span.

I love the way this story weaves fictional adventure and historical and cultural facts together. Kids are interested in the adventure and parents and teachers will be pleased that they’ll also be learning about history at the same time. Include the beautiful illustrations, and it’s a great book for your collection! -CastleViewAcademy.com
