A mildly cute, sweet little children's book inspired by Chinese fairy tales. Minli, a girl from a poor family, goes on a journey to ask the Old Man of the Moon how to improve her family's fortune, and has various adventures along the way. Characters in the book spend a lot of time telling each other stories, and incidents Minli encounters along the way also reflect various folk stories. I think I would have really enjoyed this book if I'd had the opportunity to read it when I was in the target age bracket. It didn't speak to me now but I'd definitely recommend it to kids who are into fairy tales!
