The Kite Fighters



"In "Seoul, Korea, in 1473, Young-sup and his older brother Kee-sup, are excited about the New Year kite competition." This great little story of sibling rivalry, family tradition, and craftsmanship is more likely to hold the interest of young readers than Linda Sue Park's Newbery Award winning A Single Shard. Why not read this aloud and make and paint your own kites? 136 pages. Reading level = 6.3; Quality = 5; Acceptability = 5.
