Book excerpt: THE ODYSSEY OF THE YOUNG DRAGON "The exciting and dangerous adventures of a Chinese teenage girl and her younger brother" The 14 year old Chi Ling was named by her father for the small and powerful protector dragon. Chi Ling validates her name by her actions in this odyssey. Betrayed by her Aunt, and saved from being murdered by a kindly kidnapper, she and her five-year old brother, Yang, are taken by force to a distant city and dumped. There she struggles to survive, and to save Yang from being sold to rich foreigners. She meets kind-hearted people as well as evil ones. Like Odysseus, her great challenge is finding her way back home. Like his arrival, her homecoming is fraught with harsh new challenges.
