Song of the Yellow Dragon

“[A] beguiling coming-of-age story … with magical elements and moments, from helpful breezes to enticing old stories, from the everyday glory of a cloud of fluff whirling above a field of dandelions to a dazzling golden transformation at the climax that will leave readers entranced.” —Booklist

“A journey shaped by danger, secrecy, and the possibility of magic and unexpected alliances… Linguistically precise, developmentally appropriate, and instructionally rich for middle grade readers, this title is a strong addition to any library or classroom.” —School Library Journal

“Compelling twists … intriguing surprises.” —Kirkus Reviews

“An immersive high-stakes adventure full of hope and wonder… Brimming with unexpected twists, this will remind young readers to believe in the magic within themselves and shape their own destiny.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“With masterful storytelling and lush, lyrical prose, Low spins a tale that feels at once fresh and timeless, creating a world that readers will never want to leave.”—Katie Zhao, author of The Dragon Warrior and Winnie Zeng series

“Whimsical, lyrical, and effortlessly readable … A powerful reminder that while it’s important to hold onto the quiet, everyday magic we often overlook, it’s just as—if not more—important to hold onto the people who make the ordinary feel magical.” —Kyla Zhao, author of May the Best Player Win

“This book is breathtaking! From jaw-dropping twists to heart-wrenching moments, every page drew me in. Song of the Yellow Dragon is immersive, creative, and full of life lessons that stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
