INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Five Ancestors: Out of the Ashes series. Trying to beat a dragon bone addiction ("it gave me extra strength and stamina") is no easy task. But Ryan (Phoenix), a skilled young bicyclist, does so while also rescuing his kidnapped cousin from magical dragon-bone dealers. Good-natured if slightly melodramatic and over-explanatory, this second installment is suited for the middle-grade reader interested in bicycle racing or Chinese folklore.
