June Book #8

Book: Wild Orchid: A Retelling of "The Ballad of Mulan" by Cameron Dokey
Age-range: 10 and up

This was our June book club book. I won't say too much about it since I'll be discussing it in-depth tomorrow night with the girls. I will say that I loved the fact that this focused on Mulan and not on the love story. This was 100% her story. I'm sure this book was inspired first and foremost by the Disney movie, but I think Ms. Dokey made a lot of great choices about what to change. All in all a fun, quick read.

Happy reading!
