(Golden Peach Publishing June 16, 2011)
“The Thousand-Year-Old Girl” is a series of young adult novels about a magical teenage girl’s fascinating lives and fateful missions through several reincarnations over a thousand years, across the Eastern and Western worlds. Throughout the series, the story matures and intensifies as the characters grow and face increasingly daunting challenges in life.
Currently, the first four titles of the series are available:
Book One: The Dream of the Dragon
Book Two: The Flames of Heaven
Book Three: The Pearls of Life
Book Four: The Mystery of My Rebirth
The first three books tell the story of the heroine’s first lifetime in the Song Dynasty of China, as Princess Pearl of the underwater kingdom of Emerald Mirrors. Starting from Book Four, the series jumps to modern-day America in a small town by the Mississippi River, where a teenage girl unveils the mysteries of her life.
Book One: The Dream of the Dragon
With a tail of a koi fish, Pearl belongs to the Aqua species unknown to land humans, who can live for over a thousand years underwater, with the ability to morph into any form of their choice.
Traditionally, the strongest male Aquas could transform into a mighty dragon by jumping over the Dragon Arch in the Yellow River. Challenging the custom, Pearl trains fiercely alongside the toughest young men and struggles to be the first Aqua girl in history to become a dragon. But the very moment Pearl is about to make the leap of her lifetime, she sees Ming, the human boy she loves, twirling and struggling in the torrents…. Will Pearl make the fateful jump in the end?
Praised by prominent writer Geling Yan (author of "The Banquet Bug") --
"This beautiful work has taken me on a flight of imaginations, letting me relive my own childhood and youth, and experience yet another growing process—together with the brave and kind young heroine, through formation of values, choices in life, honing of personalities, as well as establishment of the concept of sacrifice and gains—all that every young heart has to face in growing up. This fantasy novel series expertly combines the ancient and the modern, across the Eastern and Western cultures. I expect it to become a new classic of young adults literature, to be collected and treasured for years to come."
