About book Starry River Of The Sky (2012)

Genre: Realistic Fiction When the moon is missing from a small village, a young boy sets out on a magical adventure. This young boy realizes that there is something off about the town and that the people don’t even seem to care about the events that have been taking place behind their own walls. This story uses a more modernized what of telling stories that relate to the traditional Chinese stories of their youth. I really like this story because it makes the Chinese mythology better relatable to a person of non-Chinese heritage. The main theme in this story is that even the smallest of person, no matter the age, can make a huge difference in the world. I would use this story in my classroom to demonstrate that even a character like this, one who is not very liked at the beginning of the story can change and grow into someone different; some one that is truly liked and depended on to make a great story. Lin, Grace. Starry River of the Sky. New York: Little, Brown, 2012. Print. This story is about a young boy who runs aways from home and comes to find a town where we ends up staying with a father and a daughter working there. After staying there for a while, he finds many flaws in the town ( there is not moon) and he tries to go on and explain through story and listens to others stories. It has a great cultural theme and goes though many interpretations of the story of the moon. This was a hard book to get into for me, however, I think it has a great underlying story it was just hard to start. I think that younger kids who are just getting into chapter books would enjoy its stories that it has to tell grades 2-5.Lin, G. (2012). Starry River of the sky.
