Summary: Wonderful tale of teaching in China
Comment: Scaling the Dragon is a wonderful narrative about teaching and living in China. Moulton and Robinson have a colorful writing style that is fully of energy and personality. Their engaging story is informed with their astute observations. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to go on a delightful literary journey with these two wonderful authors.

Summary: Marco Polo Times Two, and Fun Besides
Comment: I loved this true adventure story, written by two impossibly inquisitive academics who encounter China during an extended sojourn as teachers there. Janice (Moulton) and Robin (Robinson) move through this adventure like a contemporary Mr. and Mrs.Marco Polo. They know how to tell a story, well-paced, richly detailed, weaving their characters in and out of the exciting narrative. And what characters! Golden Zhou, Little Lin, Adjective Boy, and an interesting supporting cast of Westerners trying to deal with China and each other. As a long-ago Peace Corps Volunteer, I can say that Moulton and Robinson really reveal the drama and adventure of a deep cross-cultural encounter. "Scaling The Dragon" should be on a short-list of books to be read by Peace Corps Volunteers and other Americans preparing for an extended stay in another culture. Better yet, this book could be made into a great movie!
