Descriere magazin:
If you think Superman or Spiderman has been around a long time, think about Monkey. He has been China\'s favorite superhero for at least five centuries. He\'s amazingly strong, he can fly, and he has a few tricks those other superheroes never heard of. And he\'s always ready to do battle with demons, dragons -- sometimes even the gods. Monkey stars in The Journey to the West, an epic comic fantasy from the sixteenth century. The part retold here is about Monkey\'s origin and early career -- and the one time he didn\'t come out on top. For ages 10 and up. Not illustrated! ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Aaron Shepard is the award-winning author of The Baker\'s Dozen, The Sea King\'s Daughter, Lady White Snake, and many more children\'s books.

These mini-novels would make fun classroom readalouds, too. No dumb-downs . . . Rated S for Snapped Up. -- S. C. Poe, Route 19 Writers (blog), Apr. 4, 2012 ///////////////////////////////////////////////// SAMPLE Here I am, only four hundred years old, said the Monkey King, and I\'ve already reached the heights of greatness. What is left to hope and strive for? What can be higher than a king? Your Majesty, said the gibbon carefully, we have ever been grateful for that time four centuries ago when you hatched from the stone, wandered into our midst, and found for us this hidden cave behind the waterfall. We made you our king as the
