In the 1920s, Elizabeth Quan and the five other Lee King children, along with their parents, leave their home in Canada to make the incredible journey across the Pacific Ocean to inland China. Once there, they travel to a remote village in the south to meet the grandmother they have never known. What they discover is a foreign and astonishing world, where life hasn't changed for centuries. From Piglet having his own room in the adobe house to the arrival of plundering pirates, Beyond the Moongate is poignant, informative, and entertaining. - Cover Flap
