A Junior Library Guild Selection

Tashi lives in a tiny village on the foot of the mountains, below the tea plantations where her mother works. When her mother falls in poor health, Tashi goes on my own to the plantation, hoping to become profitable for the doctor. But she is far too small to reap the tender shoots, and her clumsy efforts anger the tough Overseer. She is desolate, until — chack-chack-chack! — something peculiar happens. Inspired by a centuries-old legend of tea-picking monkeys, here’s a richly told tale stuffed with vivid characters: the heartless Overseer, the enigmatic Royal Tea Taster, and — far away — an empress with a penchant for tea.
