Books by Blei: "Newbery Honor Book" - Li Lun, Lad of Courage

Li Lun, Lad of Courage
by Carolyn Treffinger
(1948 Newbery Honor Book)

Recommended by: Miles C.
The book, Li Lun, was an adventure book that was about a son that was very afraid of seawater. When the annual father-son fishing trip came, he would not go. His father sent him to mountain Looshan to plant seven grains of rice. My favorite part of the book was when the gulls pecked out five rice plants because one time when I was gardening a rabbit ate all my plants. There were some parts I liked and disliked. The beginning of the book was very hard to get into. The overall book though was AMAZING!
Does Li Lun ever plant the rice plants?


This book was: Boring in the beginning, but gets better!

I would recommend this book to: Anyone who liked adventures!

I rate this book:
