Julie Blackbelt-The Kung Fu Chronicles


Julie Black Belt-The Kung Fu Chronicles
Oliver Chin
Illustrations by Charlene Chua


A realistic fictional book with a plot and characters all children can relate to, Julie Black belt will round kick young readers into action!
Julie is a kid like all others who loves video games, so when her parents enroll her in a local Kung Fu class she thinks it will be comparable to all the cool moves she knows with video games. Of course she is in for a big surprise and a lesson on integrity and perseverance. Watch Julie blossom through these amazing and comic book like illustrations courtesy of Charlene Chua.
In addition this book offers a view of Asian-American culture and female protagonists.
Truly a great pick for at home or in class!
