...a wonderful read! --Crafty Moms Share blog This book contains a mix of nonfiction and fiction short stories, suitable for young adults interested in martial arts...[Peterson's] genuine and deep admiration for martial arts is clear from the way she narrates these legends from China, Japan, Korea, and beyond. I was already familiar with some of the characters but truly enjoyed these stories told in fresh and unexpected ways. --The Common List
