This took a long time as I kept putting off reading it. They should of called it Zhou Yi not Chang'e as pretty much the whole book was about her husband and what he did which was very disappointing. It did have some nice simple poetry which was fun. But it really wasn't the nice story about the woman having adventures in the moon that I was hoping for. It was however very good practice and very well written for an intermediate level reading book.

I love these graded readers - this one had even had poetry! Melancholy but beautiful story about the moon goddess.
