Educators: bring your curriculum to life...
EIGHT-YEAR-OLD AN PING cannot remember his Chinese history lessons–except the parts about the ancient weapons. Grandfather and Teacher Chen advise him to study his history books, insisting the accomplishments of each of
China’s rulers will be very useful knowledge to have. Then one day, while playing at a forbidden well site with his older brother, Ching, An Ping discovers a mysterious terracotta warrior and soon he and Ching are thrust back in time to the Qin Dynasty! Trapped in 247 B.C., the brothers’ journey takes them through the pages of their history books, encountering a legendary king along the way. But when the king’s minister decides that Ching must be executed, will An Ping be able to recall his Chinese history events in time to save Ching and China?
