It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation…and a proud father.
Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner-strength and embrace her true potential. When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father.
Because it’s so short, it reads more like a Wikipedia recap of the plot, so more experienced readers would have a better experience with the novelization by Elizabeth Rudnick instead.Acclaimed filmmaker Niki Caro brings the epic tale of China’s legendary warrior to life in Disney’s “Mulan,” in which a fearless young woman risks everything out of love for her family and her country to become one of the greatest warriors China has ever known. True. is a nice way for kids to experience this new version of Mulan while they wait for movie theaters to reopen.
The villain is different as well, with Shan Yu replaced by Böri Khan, who is aided by a witch named Xianniang whose life started on a similar path to Mulan’s, adding an engaging contrast between the two characters. For example, the character of Li Shang has been split into a soldier named Honghui who becomes her love interest and Commander Tung, their officer. The live-action reimagining of Mulan features the basic story from the animated film, but changes things quite a bit. Despite breaking the law, Mulan soon finds herself in the unique position of being the only one who can save China from powerful invaders. Stealing her father’s armor and sword, complete with the army’s motto (“Loyal, Brave, True”), Mulan disguises as a boy and takes her father's place in the army. Mulan has always known she’s different, but the worst day of her life comes when she fails her meeting with the matchmaker and her elderly father is drafted in a war. Best of all, it comes with two themed bookmarks and a double-sided poster that features Mulan in disguise as a boy on one side and herself in a warrior pose on the other. This full-color book features an image from the film on every page and is light on text, ideal for kids who are ready to read to themselves and recommended for ages 5 to 8. Kids eager to experience the story of Disney’s live-action adaptation of Mulan can get a taste with a new book called Mulan: Loyal.
