13 year old Suyin’s story begins with her nearly losing her life to save a young crane in the marshes of a poor Chinese village.

I loved this book; it was sad but I really liked the book. I would say it is more for grades about 6-8 because it has violence and older youth subjects. I<3 this Book!!!!

I love this book! its sad and happy but also very intense.
recommend to grade 7 and up because it has violence
CRANES RULE 🙂
It is kinda sad but a very good overall.
I love how this story combines Chinese folk stories with a real life adventure. It was great to see a strong female character “win the day”. It was hard to put the book down and now I want to learn more about crane women and embroidery. The only thing I was unsure of was if the book took place in modern times or about 50 – 80 years ago.
