"It is a story full of adventure that I believe you will enjoy as much as I did.  Young Fu won the Newbery Medal, not only because it was historically and culturally accurate, but because it was and is a really good read."-Katherine Paterson, Newbery Award-winning author of Bridge to Terabithia and Jacob Have I Loved

Synopsis
A classic Newbery Award winner, with an introduction by Katherine Paterson and new illustrations When Young Fu arrives with his mother in bustling 1920s Chungking, all he has seen of the world is the rural farming village where he has grown up. He knows nothing of city life. But the city, with its wonders and dangers, fascinates the thirteen-year-old boy, and he sets out to make the best of what it has to offer him. First published in 1932, "Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze" was one of the earliest Newbery Medal winners. Although China has changed since that time, Young Fu' s experiences, like making friends, are timeless., This lively story of a coppersmith's young apprentice - rich in drama and light humor - was awarded the John Newbery Medal in 1932, and has entertained readers ever since. Handsome, authentic drawings by Ed Young enhance this edition, and the background notes provide a contrast between China as it was in the 1920s and as it is today. Contemporary young Americans will enjoy Young Fu's experiences with artisans, bandits, scholars, boatmen, and soldiers, and their understanding and view of China's past and present will deepen.
