Book Summary:
Young Wei dreamed of being a legendary lion dancer just like his dad. With his best friend Hung performing as the tail and Wei controlling the head, he knew they could become the next generation of lion dance champions. But after his dad's sudden passing, Wei suddenly quits lion dancing- and his friendship with Hung.
Years later, Wei is stuck...in life, in school, and on the bench at games. That is, until he crashes a junior lion dance practice and feels his long-sleeping passion wake within him once more. The team is happy to have another member to carry on the tradition especially one as incredibly talented as Wei. There's only one person who doesn't want him there- his former best friend and self-proclaimed star, Hung.
As Wei and Hung fight to be considered the top lion dancer, both will have to learn how to face their mistakes head-on and remember what it really means to be part of a team.
