Sondok: Princess of the Moon and Stars

190 pp. | Scholastic | June, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-16586-5 $$10.95
(4) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. In 595 C.E., fourteen-year-old Sondok writes to her late grandmother about her frustrations at being dismissed as an astronomer because she's female. Although the plot frequently runs aground under the weight of information about admittedly interesting Korean customs, this fictional diary ostensibly penned by the future ruler of the Silla kingdom is eloquent. An author's note provides historical background. Glos.
