A recommendation! Grace Lin's Where the Mountain Meets the Moon, for anyone who likes fairytales, China, effortlessly engaging fairytale adaptations, stories-within-stories that grow to intertwine gracefully with the story proper, or beautiful but understated prose.

Also dragons. And talking goldfish. Dream logic. A clever, determined heroine. And splendid, splendid full-color illustrations.

It is. I kept meaning to go to sleep, but somehow I just kept going and going and... now I need to read some Chinese folktales.
