| " Julie Black Belt is a great introduction for young readers into the world of martial arts."-Phillip Wong, Wushu Grand Champion, and Zhang Hong Mei, International Games gold medalist "When a child learns about his body and also learns discipline, it can't help but benefit all of his everyday habits"- Los Angeles Times "It's a kick! Kids look to martial arts for skills and attitudes missing from team sports."- The Christian Science Monitor When Julie takes a kung fu class, she thinks getting a black belt will be easy. But her bold teacher says guess again! As reality doesn't match her expectations, Julie wonders, what would her matinee idol Brandy Wu do? Can Julie take her lessons to heart? Only then can this "white belt" pass her next test to show her brother, parents, and heroine this sport's true spirit. Colorful and energetic illustrations capture both high-flying action and purposeful reflection. Julie is a refreshing female character whom children everywhere will identify with. This engaging adventure of "kung fu enlightenment" displays what real kid power is! "Idolizing the movie actress Brandy Wu, Julie confidently accepts her parents' offer to enroll in a kung fu class in Oliver Chin's delightful Julie Black Belt: The Kung Fu Chronicles. But getting a black belt won't be easy since her teacher says every beginner must start with a white one. Julie wonders what her big screen idol would do...Find out through Charlene Chua's lively illustrations in this engaging and empowering read." - AudreyMagazine "Evocative of graphic novels, the illustrations will catch readers' attention. They portray the range of emotions that Julie and the other characters experience and also present the characters in 'action shots,' which will appeal to younger readers and draw them into the story. Many of the illustrations are mid-action sequences that will give readers the impression that they are watching a movie instead of reading a book with static pictures." - CM magazine When Julie takes a kung fu class, she thinks getting a black belt will be easy. But her bold teacher says guess again! As reality doesn't match her expectations, Julie wonders, what would her matinee idol Brandy Wu do? Can Julie take her lessons to heart? Only then can this "white belt" pass her next test to show her brother, parents, and heroine this sport's true spirit. Julie is a refreshing female character whom children everywhere can identify with. Created before Kung Fu Pandaand the new Karate Kidfilm, Julie displays what real kid power is!
