<p>Gene Luen Yang is the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. </p><p>A <i>New York Times</i> bestseller</p><p>China, 1898. An unwanted fourth daughter, Four-Girl isn't even given a proper name by her family. She finds friendship-and a name, Vibiana-in the most unlikely of places: Christianity. But China is a dangerous place for Christians. The Boxer Rebellion is murdering Westerners and Chinese Christians alike. Torn between her nation and her Christian friends, Vibiana will have to decide where her true loyalties lie . . . and whether she is willing to die for her faith. <br><i>----</i><br><i>Boxers &amp; Saints</i> is a groundbreaking graphic novel in two volumes. This innovative format presents two parallel tales about young people caught up on opposite sides of a violent rift. <i>Saints </i>tells Vibiana's story, and the companion volume, <i>Boxers</i>, tells the story of Little Bao, a young man who joins the Boxer Rebellion. <i>American Born Chinese</i> author Gene Luen Yang brings his trademark magical realism to the complexities of the Boxer Rebellion, and lays bare the universal foundations of extremism, rebellion, and faith.</p>
