Riding on a Caravan (Paperback)

"The short descriptions of places are accurate, both in the story and in the appended information about the Silk Road and the making of silk. This book is an excellent way to introduce the trade route" -- School Library Journal

Along the way, you'll explore China's varied geography and discover how the Silk Road fostered cultural diversity a century ago.
