A fantasy set in China, Silver Phoenix takes us into the world of a girl named Ai Ling, who is bound to marry the way her parents decide until her father mysteriously disappears. Deciding to go find him, she comes across a young man named Chen Yong and together they discover the mystery surrounding her father's disappearance and Ai Ling's own powers. 
 Vividly imagined, this book mixes both Chinese history with myth. I was completely immersed in the world Cindy Pon created and look forward to reading the sequel!
