The Monkey King: A Superhero Tale of China, Retold from The Journey to the West (Ancient Fantasy) (Volume 4)

Â
If you think Superman or Spiderman has been around a long time, think about Monkey. He has been China's favorite superhero for at least five centuries. He's amazingly strong, he can fly, and he has a few tricks those other superheroes never heard of. And he's always ready to do battle with demons, dragons -- sometimes even the gods.Â
Â
Monkey stars in The Journey to the West, an epic comic fantasy from the sixteenth century. The part retold here is about Monkey's origin and early career -- and the one time he didn't come out on top.Â
Â
For ages 10 and up. Not illustrated!
