“WHAT DO YOU get when you cross Harry Potter with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? Wandering Warrior, Da Chen’s first book of fiction. . . . Whiz-bang action at every turn. . . . A culturally poignant and energetic adventure story.”—USA Today
“There is much to enjoy, particularly the unusual kung fu backdrop, which makes an intriguing setting for a fantasy adventure.”—Publishers Weekly
“The story skips quickly along, moving from one exciting, richly described scene to another.”—Booklist
“It is a wild ride, perfect for high-energy teens who might not otherwise spend their time reading.”—VOYA
"Luka is an appealing character whose determination and facility with the martial arts are balanced by humor and a healthy dose of pre-adolescent competitiveness. . . . The language is colloquial, even earthy, and helps to maintain the work's sense of fun."
—Kirkus Reviews
Da Chen was born in China. He came to America at the age of 23 with 30 dollars in his pocket and a bamboo flute. He lives in Hudson Valley, NY.
