Rezensionen
Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Rift von Gene Luen Yang
Better than the last. Main metal spirit was a bit strange conceptually but overall solid.
More Avatar is always good, but the book has some issues and didnt totally hit the mark for me. 3.5. I suspect I’ll like some of the next ones more.
Iroh inventing boba before its time was excellent though.

Hopper, Eni, and Josh continue learning from Mr. Bee - who they learn is actually Professor Bee, the founder of the Bee School, upon which Stately Academy was built. Some classrooms remain underground, and Mr. Bee shows them the remaining turtles and programs. Meanwhile, the Dean is onto them, and sends the rugby team to spy on them and capture the turtles - and Mr. Bee! Hopper uses a mini turtle to complete her repetitive Mandarin homework assignment (her Mandarin teacher is also her mom), and the three of them use their coding skills to tie up part of the rugby team. Cliffhanger ending!

This book would be good for advance students. This book is "American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang and published in 2000. This book is about a boy named Jin Wang and he is Chinese, but doesn't want to be because he is in love with an American girl and society has told him that he does not belong with her. There is also the Monkey King who has lived for thousands of years and ends up being defeated. This book goes through the journey of these two characters and the struggles they go through to become undefeated and to get the girl. This book would be good for advanced readers who are not into chapter books or have trouble reading longer books. It also has good culture in it and normalizes being a different culture than those around you and shows kids how to be confident in their culture instead of assimilating to those around them.… (mehr)
