Dragon Road by Laurence Yep is a story of friendship and perserverence. Two best friends embark on a journey filled with challenges, will to survive, and the joy of playing basketball. A professional basketball team, the Dragons, invites Cal and Barney to join the team. They travel across the country playing ball and encountering many obstacles along the way, such as racial prejudice barriers. Cal's character is faced with tough decisions during his journey. Decisions of being a loyal friend and following his destiny. This is the first book by Laurence Yep I've read but have researched many of his other books. He is a very talented author and his books would make an excellent addition to the fiction section of a children's library because they greatly encourage creative thinking and imagination. Some of his other books are: The Case of the Goblin Pearls, The Tiger's Apprentice, and Tiger Magic.
