In this story Rachel Yu introduces us to a world based on Asian customs and ceremonies populated by mice. The five sisters can't wait for the annual festival and to enjoy the famous red bean pies. When the pies are stolen the girls just happen to have the right set of skills to bring the culprit to justice.The illustrations are vivid and wonderful and the story is will capture young imaginations. I personally found it a little jarring when the five sisters were revealed to have super powers halfway through, but children have more flexible imaginations and might not find it so confusing. This is a fun book get kids' imaginations going and to perhaps get them interested in what different cultures are like as well.
