Walking Through Walls

By: Cioffi, Karen

Wang, twelve-years-old and lazy, dreams of becoming rich and powerful. He refuses to work in the wheat fields all his life, like his father. After dreaming of soaring through the sky on a mighty dragon, his solution is to become one of the legendary mystical Eternals of the Lao Mountain, a group known and feared for its magical feats.

After learning where the Eternal Temple is, Wang journeys through a dense fog and rugged forest trail to get there and begins an apprenticeship. It turns out, though, that Wang is not exactly cut out for the whole 'patience and hard work' apprentice thing. But before bailing, he learns one magical skill: WALKING THROUGH WALLS.

However, Wang is warned that he can only use the magic for good. But he wonders if taking from the rich is considered wrong. Will he ignore the warning and use his newly acquired magical skill instead to get rich?

Walking Through Walls is a fantasy chapter book set in sixteenth-century China and based on an ancient Chinese tale. It includes reading comprehension questions, activities, and information about the Ming Dynasty period and the Chinese dragon. It will be an excellent addition to any child's school or home library.
