In this retelling of a classic Chinese folk tale, seven Chinese sisters live together and take care of one another. Each one had a special talent ranging from being able to ride a scooter as fast as the wind to having the ability to talk to dogs.
When baby Seventh Sister is snatched by a hungry dragon, her loving sisters race to save her and each of the sisters will need to use her unique talent to save their little sister.
"[Illustrator] Grace Lin expertly captures the drama and humor of the story with delightful paintings that reveal lovely Chinese landscapes and a quirky, not-too-scary dragon." -- Booklist
