Reviews

“Writing in the chatty voice of her protagonist, Park captures the easygoing, day-to-day intimacy of a family animated and anchored by unconditional love….Gondra is wonderfully imagined…bright-eyed, adventurous, resilient.”—Publishers Weekly

“Young dragon Gondra deftly narrates….a playful [look at mixed-race identity], and readers will enjoy the cultural examination of dragons.”—Kirkus

“[Gondra] is proud to come from such diverse cultures….An author’s note explains different cultural origins of the dragon myth, and why, for centuries, humans have been fascinated by them. This allegorical adventure will entice a whole new crop.”—Booklist
