Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli

In ancient Chang’An, Han Yu sells steamed buns in a bustling market full of whispers about his ability to summon tigers. In New York’s Depression-era Chinatown, Luli gazes out from the roof of her parents’ restaurant, dreaming of dim sum and Chinese art. When plague strikes Chang’An and financial crisis threatens Luli’s family, Han Yu and Luli must each venture out into the larger world–and into danger-filled adventure–to save what they love most. A Newbery 2025 Honor book, this exciting novel is a testament to the bravery required to face the unknown and the power of art to connect us through the ages.
