Young-hee and the Pullocho
Autor Mark James Russellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mai 2015 – vârsta până la 18 ani
Everything in Young-hee's life seems to be falling apart. Her father is gone, her overworked mother has moved the family back to Seoul, and adjusting to a new school is harder than she ever imagined. Even her younger brother Bum seems determined to make every day more difficult.
Then Young-hee discovers a hidden world where the folktales she grew up hearing are real. But when Bum is kidnapped, she must embark on a dangerous quest to find the legendary pullocho plant. Along the way she encounters dragons, fairies and other magical beings while facing choices that will determine not only her brother's fate, but that of an entire enchanted realm.
Inspired by Korean folklore, Young-hee and the Pullocho blends adventure, fantasy and coming-of-age themes into an unforgettable story that celebrates courage, family and self-discovery.

Recenzii
"Her journey is fantastic and full of rich mythological creatures that come to vivid life under Russell's pen…each chapter ends with a little story, a folktale that is often elaborated upon or retold or alluded to in some way in the narrative itself. This technique gives texture to the narrative and adds a richness to the detail. It also connects Young-Hee's story to the stories that are already in existence. A very neat way to make readers interested in folklore." —The Book Wars blog
"A likable, modern heroine, Young-hee deals with challenges that, while sometimes dreamlike, bring about definite changes in her viewpoint. This quick-paced adventure story is one of the few middle-grade novels available here that reflect Korean culture and lore." —Booklist
"For Young-hee, 13, nothing about her family's return to Seoul after five years in Canada has been pleasant. When she discovers a hidden door to a vibrant magical land, it's a welcome escape from her life's depressing realities. Young-hee's younger brother accompanies her on her second trip through the portal, and during that trip, he falls for a trap set by a crafty dokkaebi (goblin). So Young-hee makes a desperate deal with the dokkaebi: She will go on a journey to find a pullocho, a rare magical plant, and exchange it for her brother's freedom so they can both return home. Russell enriches his debut novel with many details borrowed from Korean folk tales. Fans of stories within stories will enjoy the tales included here(…)" —Kirkus
