City girl Little Yu has just spent a summer in the countryside with her grandparents, and on the last day, wishing she could stay, she spots peach blossom petals drifting along the river. She follows them to a stone tablet that warns \"Prohibited to cross,\" steps over it anyway, and the world begins to turn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat follows is a journey through a hidden forest realm and its guardian spirits of mountain, cloud, water, and wind, the kind of forbidden crossing that calls to mind Alice down the rabbit hole or Chihiro in the spirit world. Xiong Liang is a celebrated Chinese artist as well as a writer, and his ink-wash paintings are the heart of the book, vivid and meticulous, filling each page with cave dwellings, towering cypress, and a great graceful hound. Drawn from classical Chinese mythology and rendered in prose worth slowing down for. A starred review from both Kirkus and Publishers Weekly, and the start of a seven-book series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eAges 9–12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elsewhere Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45381355798575,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/9781962770491.jpg?v=1779474295","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/lost-in-peach-blossom-paradise","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
