Praise for Dragon Pearl

"Lee has a knack for world-building. His richly detailed, cohesive, original vision is a lively mash-up of outer-space sci-fi and Korean culture and folklore."
--Horn Book Magazine

*"Lee offers a perfect balance of space opera and Korean mythology with enough complexity to appeal to teens".
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

*"A high-octane, science-fiction thriller painted with a Korean brush and a brilliant example of how different cultures can have unique but accessible cosmology and universal appeal. "
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

*"Lee skillfully weaves Korean folklore into this space opera narrative, creating dynamic and relatable characters. The ending is satisfying, tying up loose ends, but leaving room for a sequel. With ghosts, pirates, and a rollicking space adventure, there's a little something for everyone here."
--School Library Journal (starred review)
