The Ninth Dragon

Zach's mum has landed the job of a lifetime, working with ancient relics at a museum in China, and now Zach has to join her over the holidays. Zach had planned to be hanging out with his friends, surfing and riding the new skate park down the road. Now he'll be stuck in freezing cold, deadly boring China. But after Zach finds a mysterious carved dragon at the airport in Beijing, the trip takes a strange turn. It might not be such a lame holiday after all. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
