3.0 out of 5 stars Once Apon A Time: Again, Aug 18 2009

By	Hayley Walters (Montreal, Qc) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Orchid: A Retelling of "The Ballad of Mulan" (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a typical fairy tail romance, nothing new nothing unexpected...
and to americanized for my taste, by no means historically accurate.
If your looking for something to read give it a try, but dont expect to much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, April 8 2009

By	TeensReadToo.com "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Orchid: A Retelling of "The Ballad of Mulan" (Mass Market Paperback)

Mulan's mother died during labor. Her father, a great General in the army, was heartbroken. He's never been home since he heard the news. Thus, Mulan lost both her parents on the same day.

Mulan is not your typical girl. Instead, she climbs trees and despises needlework. She meets the boy next door and the two of them form a friendship. He teaches her archery, how to ride a horse, how to use a sword, and, finally, how to read and write.

When her father comes home, everything changes. First, she must learn how to trust and obey him. Second, she must learn how to love him and her new stepmother. Just when she's finally found herself a new family, the Huns appear on the horizon of China. The men are called back to war.

Mulan, unwilling to let her father go with a bad leg and a new family, disguises herself and takes his place instead. Her first day there, she catches the ears of one of the king's sons. He engages her in an archery contest. From then on, Mulan is famous throughout the camp.

With the Huns quickly approaching, all three princes have different ideas on how to defend China. Mulan mistakenly speaks out during a strategizing session. Prince Jian immediately seizes her idea. But will it be enough to save China?

This new ONCE UPON A TIME addition weaves together the wonders of ancient China, a budding romance, a feisty girl, and the true meaning of both friendship and family in a fantastic fairy tale edition.
