The king of Lóng City is dying. For Kai Zou, the news means more than it does for most former street rats in the small mountain stronghold, because he and the king’s daughter are close friends. Then the majestic ruler of the ghost dragons orders Kai to travel across the country to the Phoenix Empire, where the princess is learning statecraft. Kai and his best friend Yún must endure a grueling trek, placate a persnickety griffin, and navigate layers of danger and court intrigue to help the princess escape and return to Lóng City.
A refreshing mixture of magic, wit, and action, Fox and Phoenix is an auspicious YA debut.

With gentle accents and a matter-of-fact tone, Michael Lee drops listeners smack into rival kingdoms in China. Through magic, ghost dragons and former street rats work in concert to aid the Princess Lian, who is studying in a distant kingdom. There she's held prisoner in the emperor's palace and kept unaware that her father is dying. Kai Zou, a teenager whose mother runs a tutoring shop in conjuration and mathematics, is sent on a perilous journey to locate Lian and bring her home. Lee handles Kai's battles with villains and her developing romance with terrific pacing and humor. When he speaks the dialogue of the story's dragons and spirit companions, he is chilling and entertaining. D.P.D. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
