Theres also a book called the secrets of Jin Shi, thats set in medieval china though and encourperates fantasy (by Alma Alexander)
Reply:oh!! you HAVE to read Empress Orchid by Anchee Min

Reply:I think one of the best books, I've read set in China, was the autobiographyWild Swans: Three Daughters of China, by Jung Chang.
Reply:The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck it is a novel of family life in village China. You will learn more about China and its culture and tradition... try it...
Reply:"Ties That Bind, Ties That Break", and its seaqul "An Ocean Apart, a World Away" by Lensey Namioka. I read them in seventh grade, so they're good for young adult reading, but I'd read them again. These were very good books.
