Overall, this book is a must-read fantasy book! I’m already looking forward to reading this again. Where the Mountain Meets to Moon has a lot of short chapters and short paragraphs which keeps the story flowing. Look at that cover! It is one of the most beautiful covers that I have ever seen. It has several stories within the main story teaching a moral lesson, many of them very beautiful. It has all of the things that I love: great storytelling, strong female characters doing important things (not talking about boys), incredibly moving, imaginative, and original. This is the first fantasy book that I have ever read that has made me cry multiple times. Along the way, she will meet a variety of characters including a dragon. Her father fills Minli with tales, and one day Minli goes on an epic quest to find The Old Man of the Moon to change her fortune.

Her family just barely has enough rice, and her mother is always sighing with discontent. Minli, a young girl, toils relentlessly every day, working the unforgiving, barren land, and making dinner for her family.
