Shan Sa weaves a haunting tale that highlights the horrors of war and the casual acceptability of misogyny in China and Japan during the early 1900s. The story is told from two perspectives, one of a disaffected Japanese soldier who is part of an invasion of mainland China, and one of a Chinese young woman who privately rebels against the cultural norms of her time and finds solace by playing Go against strangers. Although these two are on opposite sides of an unjust conflict, it is safe to say that Shan's message is that in prolonged war, there are few winners. This story is both darkly comedic and deeply tragic, at times both difficult to read and at others impossible to put down.

Fun book! I liked finding the chameleon.

A very good book about forgiveness, trust and love, a clean book

Loved it.

I had a good time reading this book. I am going to read it over and over again.

Funny and creative story. Had me laughing so much. Love it.

The book is about Flippy and the 22 students. They each got 50 bucks and gave it all to a shelter for needy critters, except for two of them who said they were supposed to get more money because they were responsible. Then Flippy showed them his phone that they broke and told them to fix it, which cost them 75 bucks.

My daughter is 3 years old and this book really sparked something in her. She now likes to tell me she is not so small. There is one part of the book that says to share your voice and she makes sure everyone knows she is sharing her voice.

I love basketball and I loved how the G.O.A.T. (aka Michael Jordan) believed in himself.

Great
