A Kid's Review
This review is from: Li Lun, Lad of Courage (The Newbery Honor Roll) (Paperback)
Li Lun Lad of Courage is a book about a young boy who lives in a small fishing village, but he is afraid of the sea. One day his dad ordered him to come fishing with him but he refused. So his dad gave him 7 rice grains and told him to plant rice on the mountain top of Lao Shan. Little did he know that that statement would change his life. When he climbs to the mountain top he encounters gulls, rats, drought and even an old priest. This is a story about love, courage, adventure and hardship.

This review is from: Li Lun, Lad of Courage (The Newbery Honor Roll) (Paperback)
This is a quick reading story of a young boy afraid of the water in a fishing town, sent to the mountaintop by his father when he won't go to sea. The father gives him grains of rice and tells him not to return till he has grown it many times over. The story tells of his trials and tribulations trying to grow the rice - which he succeeds at. This book won the 1948 Newbery Honor award and is a charming example of the type of books that win the awards.
