About This Book:
In the internationally renowned Chinese classic novel Journey to the West, Monkey is the most memorable character. Magically born out of a rock, he is a master of shape=shifting and full of tricks and ideas. His talents are greatly appreciated by Buddha, who appoints him as the protector and disciple of Xuanzang, a Chinese monk determined to travel to India in search of the precious Buddhist Scriptures. Throughout their journey, Monkey helps Xuanzang defeat numerous monsters and demons who are convinced that a bite of the monk's flesh can enable them to live forever.
Now, in Niu Huang's fantasy series I am Monkey, a modern Chinese teenager dreams of mastering magical powers and becoming a hero as great as Monkey. The "monsters" and "demons" he encounters in today's Beijing are a mixture of imagined and real obstacles that are unique to Chinese culture. For example, in the first episode "Yu Yin the Child", studies of ancient Chinese magic are combined with modern Chinese business strategies to create a leading edge. Conventional values such as loyalty, friendship and courage, however, remain the same and are the true secret to achieving success.
I Am Monkey (1): Yu Yin the Child is a fascinating story. If you enjoy Journey to the West, then this modern adaption of the Chinese classic novel cannot and should not be missed.
