Editorial Reviews
Review
"Such a great combination of stunning pictures and gripping story. I absolutely love the illustrations." -- Anna Tharyan, Toronto Public Library
Practice makes perfect. That's what Julie learns in her beginning kung fu class along with lessons about dedication and determination. (She thinks getting a black belt will be a snap.) San Francisco author Oliver Chin writes a high-action story that encourages deep reflection despite the action movie look. -- The San Francisco Chronicle

"[Martial arts] demonstrates the value of hard work, practice and consistent dedication."-The Washington Post
"When a child learns about his body and also learns discipline, it can't help but benefit all of his everyday habits"-Los Angeles Times
"It's a kick! Kids look to martial arts for skills and attitudes missing from team sports."-The Christian Science Monitor
When Julie takes a kung fu class, she thinks getting a black belt will be easy. But her bold teacher says guess again! As reality doesn't match her expectations, Julie wonders, what would her matinee idol Brandy Wu do?
Can Julie take her lessons to heart? Only then can this "white belt" pass her next test to show her brother, parents, and heroine this sport's true spirit.
Colorful and energetic illustrations capture both high-flying action and purposeful reflection. Julie is a refreshing female character whom children everywhere can identify with. This engaging introduction to the world of martial arts displays what real kid power is!
