Publisher's Note
Up and up the wind drew him.
Haoyou looked about him and saw the whole
world beneath him. And it was his.

The Great Miao, master of the Jade Circus, offers Haoyou the amazing chance to escape his family's poverty -- by becoming a kite rider. Strapped onto a beautiful scarlet-and-gold kite, Haoyou is sent into the sky, earning money, freedom, and unexpected fame. Miao even plans for Haoyou to perform before Kublai Khan himself.

From Carnegie Medalist Geraldine McCaughrean comes a dazzling story of adventure, betrayal, family, and sacrifice set in the dramatic world of thirteenth-century China.



Industry Reviews
"[T]he solid, old-fashioned melodrama is exquisitely embroidered with exotica, and Haoyou's aerial skills are positively riveting. Adventure fans are in for a breathtaking ride."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Elizabeth Bush
