Anpao is young and Handsome and Brave -- a man any maiden would be proud to call her husband. Any maiden but Ko-Ko-Mik-e-is, that is, who calims she belongs to the Sun alone. And so Anpao sets off for the house of the Sun to ask permission to marry the woman he loves. But Anpao's journey is not an easy one. Before he can reach the Sun, Anapao must travel back in time to the dawn of the world. He must relive his own creation, venture through The World Beneath the World, and battle the many magical mystical creatures of Native American legends. For only by doing so can Anpao discover who he really is, and rove to the Sun why he alone is worthy of the fair Ko-komik-e-is

The prose in this one is genuinely lyrical, especially the way Anpao’s quest builds through the interconnected stories. My daughter finished it in two sittings and immediately asked to read the creation myths again out loud.

I picked this up for my kids during a sale and the mythic storytelling pulled them in right away — Anpao’s quest feels epic but reads fast. The prose is poetic without getting heavy, and the Newbery nod made me trust the quality. Definitely a keeper on our shelf.
