Jade Moon is
bold, stubborn, and determined--everything a good Chinese daughter should
not be. These traits often get her nothing but disapproval and punishment. Yet,
somehow luck has found her and is taking her to America, a land where she can
be anything--and everything--she wants to be.
Jade Moon's story
promised excitement, adventure, and mischief, so I was disappointed when
these attributes failed to show up until halfway through the book. This made
the second half of The Fire Horse Girl enjoyable, but it wasn't
worth all the effort it took to get through the first 150 pages. On the
plus side, Jade Moon's story has a very satisfying ending.
