Book 5 of 7: Beloved by readers and praised by educators, The Five Ancestors series has received numerous awards from the American Library Association, International Literacy Association, Children’s Book Council, and others for its ability to connect with reluctant readers. The original animal-style kung fu adventure since 2005! More than 1.5 million Five Ancestors books in print!
Change. For years, Ying hated his grandmaster for denying him the opportunity to train as a Dragon, and held a deep resentment for his five younger temple siblings—Grandmaster’s favorites. He took his revenge and burnt the Cangzhen temple to the ground, but the five youngsters survived and continued to be a thorn in his side. Yet, when betrayed by the emperor and imprisoned, it was his younger sister, Hok, who rescued him.
In the fifth installment of Jeff Stone’s groundbreaking series, old allegiances are questioned and new ones are made. Power and greed, with roots as deep as the military and as high as the palace, threaten to destroy China. Surrounded by corruption, the reluctant Eagle begins to recognize that his future—and the fate of an entire nation—may depend upon him joining forces with…The Five Ancestors.
The Legend . . .
When China’s Cangzhen Temple is destroyed, only five young warrior monks survive. Each is named after a different animal—Tiger, Monkey, Snake, Crane, Dragon—for each is the youngest-ever master of that animal's kung fu fighting style. The five scatter and begin teaching not only their formidable fighting skills, but also their peaceful philosophy of life. It is said that today's martial arts come from the teachings of these five young warrior monks, who are known in legend as . . . The Five Ancestors.
