| When
an enemy army threatens China, Fa Mulan's father is drafted to fight the
Tartars. To save her father who is too old and weak to go to war,
and to uphold her family's honor, Fa Mulan proposes taking his place.
Reluctantly her family agrees. With her hair cut short, she takes
her father's armor and weapons and rides off to war. Though afraid,
she studies the art of war until she is skilled. After gaining fame
in battle, she is to meet the Khan. What will happen if she is discovered
to be a woman? (Jeannie Bellavance bellavance@erols.com.
