The front cover is so warm, loving, and welcoming while the back cover offers the scary upcoming dark Valentine sides.
The LUNAR NEW YEAR delivers both in alternating arcs of betrayal (human and otherwise), caring vs dishonesty, and surprising revelations that tip the plot.
The brilliant color illustrations bring both people and lions to life,
with both the Vietnamese and Korean Lion Dancers sweeping off the pages:
what a splendid movie this will make!
As compelling are the unusual ways that the characters develop, separately and together, whether in Poker game unity or in Grandma/Father/Daughter conflicts.
A mystery is whether the Mother was strong enough to leave her cruel and taunting husband...Jae's welcome cake act set him above his fellow Lion competitor.
Even when intended for a YA audience, it would be best to LOSE the truly Blech Chocolate snot.
