(2) YA When the government announces a conscription to raise troops against an enemy invasion from across the Great Wall, Mulan answers the call--disguised as her deceased twin brother. The portrayal of fifth-century China is engrossing, but it's Mulan's story--her rocky introduction to combat and her growth in valor, plus the growing attraction between her and the duke's son--that makes this revisioning of the ancient Chinese legend captivating.
