The advantages of reading this book is that it teaches you life lessons and you get to see different traditions throughout the book. The disadvantages of reading this book is that it’s kinda confusing because the chapters all focus on different characters and their problems. One theme is tradition because in one of the stories it talks about how they would find the person the will marry at such a young age. Another theme is motherly love because when the mom tells her children superstitions, they are preventing bad things to happen to their children. This novel should be required for middle schoolers to read because it’s a very interesting book and we learn a little bit about Chinese culture.
