MS Books @ Lunch: Da Chen
A Social Justice Week Book Discussion
Middle School: Come to Lunch and Discuss the Author & His Book
Da Chen will visit Perk as part of our Social Justice Week programming. On the day he visits, we will discuss his historical novel Sword (description from author's web site):
On the morning of Miu Miu’s fifteenth birthday, her mother makes a startling revelation: Miu Miu’s fate is to travel to the faraway city of Chang’an, avenge her father’s death, and find her true love. But the evil emperor has other plans for her. Defeating him will take all of Miu Miu’s courage, wit, and martial arts experience.
Master storyteller Da Chen paints a vivid portrait of his native land in this classic tale of honor, adventure, and romance in ancient China.

Do I need to have read the book?
No, but see Mrs. Longstreth or our Overdrive Digital Library if you would like to. There is also an excerpt on the author's website.
