Description
The Kite Rider by Geraldine McCaughrean is set in Ancient China, where Haoyou's father's spirit lives among the clouds. To save his mother from a forced marriage, Haoyou must follow in his father's footsteps and ride kites through the clouds and spirits of the dead. A chance to escape his enemies and travel throughout the empire comes when Haoyou joins the Jade Circus, with the possibility of performing before Kublai Khan himself. But is this really the best option? The circus master may be leading him into greater danger. This beautifully illustrated edition brings Geraldine McCaughrean's outstanding story to a new generation of readers.
