Description

Tao is studying martial arts at the famous Master Snow's school. But no matter how hard he concentrates on his lessons, mischief gets in the way! Tao plays pranks and jokes around with his friends Ray, Lee, and Kat. He also struggles to get to school on time, learn new moves, and--most importantly--avoid doing his chores.

Reviews

"Each page is headed with a philosophical teaching of a martial arts concept. The illustrations are colorful and correspond with the text." --Library Media Connection

"Ryser's style and pacing are polished and professional. The setting and architecture are generically Asian and merrily anachronistic." --Publishers Weekly

"The panels are appealing to the eye, with crisp, energetic illustrations and vivid colors. A light, entertaining series for most graphic novel collections." --School Library Journal
