Yet, many things get in the way such as thieves and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The theme here is importance of family. Kids 9 and up would enjoy this book.

This would be recommended. This book has a great plot. Each chapter has something that excites the reader, such as a story. This also shows how life was for a T’ang man in San Francisco. The only weak point was that little kids could get confused constantly on events like arguments

Dragon Wings is great towards ages 9 and older. It shows how important family is. It also has an event used in many great novels: when dreams come true. It then tells kids a important lesson in life: to never give up. This novel is greatly recommended.
