Grace has a new middle grade novel: The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon

Her first original novel in over nine years, this book is available in a special, limited-run, deluxe edition with sprayed edges! Make sure you get one (choose the deluxe edition; it's the same price as standard ) while this edition is still available!

THE GATE, THE GIRL AND THE DRAGON debuted #2 on the NY Times Bestseller list as well as the IndieBound list! You can get the book anywhere (amazon, barnes and nobles, bookshop, as well as your local indie) but  autographed copies (with the sprayed edges) are available from Grace’s local indie store.

New: Ling & Ting's Lunar New Year: Two Times Lucky

"In addition to cultural insights, the book offers lessons in calendar skills, chores/­cleaning, puns, poems, and Chinese American ­heritage. With its charm, humor, and cultural context, this book is both entertaining and educational... VERDICT: This ­joyful, culturally rich introduction to ­Lunar New Year is a ­fantastic addition to any ­collection."
—SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"As always in this series, humor is the big draw, with punny jokes... and silly situations well engineered to tickle the target audience. The unique personalities of each sister add to the comedy... Readers encountering these twins for the first (or fifth) time are most definitely “two times lucky."

"Grace Lin once again weaves Asian folklore and deities seamlessly into the main story... I felt just as much magic and wonder as I did the first time I read Where the Mountain Meets the Moon."
—Kelly Anderson, K-5 School Librarian
"I adore all of Grace’s books; she is a magical storyteller who always writes beautifully real, lovable characters, whether they’re humans, stone spirits, lion cubs, or dragons." 
—Tui Sutherland, author of Wings of Fire
"It's been awhile since we've had new middle grade fiction from Grace Lin, and it was worth the wait! This blend of fanciful invented legend and original story has something for every reader: mystery, action, emotion...and dragons!"
—Lori Faust, Children's Librarian
"Full of Lin’s signature lyrical prose, "The Gate, the Girl, and the Dragon" brings Chinese mythology and folktales to life in a thoroughly 21st century way... One warning, though, when kids beg for just one more chapter, parents won’t be able to say no."
Annika Abeleducator
"Newbery Honoree Grace Lin spins her first novel-length tale in fifteen years, sure to captivate young readers with a story that begs to be read aloud and savored. "
