Book Review - Mulan: Before the Sword by Grace Lin

An original novel that will explore and develop the world and characters of the Walt Disney Studios live action Mulan film.

This was a fun read and I enjoyed the prequel story. It was fill of adventure and new characters and villians. It is set before the new live action Mulan movie not the original Disney animated film so there is a bit of foundational plot difference. The plot is focused around Mulan's sister and Mulan's quest to save her. There are a number of interesting tales from new characters she meetes along her journey too. It's very well written and a nice story for younger readers. Overall I give it 4 stars.

Thank you Scholastic Australia for this copy in exchange for my honest and independent review.
