In the world of Zhang, the new charioteers are human-powered kites, racing above New York in a brief grab at glory.

Review by: tucker (Karl)
Dated: 2nd of January, 2004
Simple really. It bored me.
The characters had depth, but were low-energy... meaning they didn't really grab me, had no real focus and all seemed to be a little vague about their place in the plot.
I struggled to make it through the first 3 chapters, cruised through the next couple, and basically skimmed the rest of the book, I found it that watery.
Overall, not impressed, can't say much good, so won't say any more.
Random listing from 'Books'...
This is a reformatted edition in the "Usborne Cloth Books" series. Illustrated by Rachel Wells, creator of the best-selling "Usborne That's not my..." series, this book has huge appeal for babies and very young children and provides a perfect introduction to books. Children will love following Diddy the baby dinosaur as he hatches from his egg and follows a footprint trail to find his family. The new size of the book and the soft fabric are perfect for little hands to hold.
