This book is the fourth book in the five ancestor’s series, following the Tiger, Monkey, and Snake. In this book, the main focus is Hook the crane, who reveals a lot about her past and hidden secrets. This series is about 5 young kungfu monks, each with different animal attributes, which create their personalities and identities. After a tragedy near Kaifeng, China, Hok has to survive alone, with one handicapped “Snake”, and two stolen brothers. On her trip to an underground battle city, where winning or losing means life or death, she hears news about the “golden dragon." Could the “Golden Dragon” help her find her long lost brother “Dragon”, master of the dragon style kungfu? She’s Chinese, she knows that, like her brothers at Cangzhen Temple. At least her mom’s Chinese, but because of her brown hair and brown eyes, many people don’t welcome her. And why does the word “Dutch” sound so familiar? Could it help Hok answer where her father is, and why she is different from other Chinese people? This is a very fast paced book with very interesting character identities and very descriptive actions. The author really paints a movie in your mind, which you can see like a kungfu movie coming out of the paper pages! Though the language is not too advanced, it is really fun to read. Sometimes I cannot stop flipping the pages! I also learned how to say the names of some animals in Cantonese because the names of characters in the book are named after animals. I think many readers would enjoy this book because it is action packed, interesting, and keeps the reader wanting to know more of the secrets and mysteries in the book.
