The Kite Fighters

Synopsis

It's like the kite is part of him—the part that wants to fly. In a riveting novel set in fifteenth-century korea, two brothers discover a shared passion for kites. Kee-sup can craft a kite unequaled in strength and beauty, but his younger brother, young-sup, can fly a kite as if he controlled the wind itself. Their combined skills attract the notice of korea's young king, who chooses young-sup to fly the royal kite in the new year kite-flying competition--an honor that is also an awesome responsibility.
