Who is Tibet’s Exiled Leader?

The 14th Dalai Lama

Fol­low the Four­teenth Dalai Lama’s har­row­ing escape to India in 1959, as he fled Chi­nese sup­pres­sion of a nation­al upris­ing in Tibet. A sto­ry of risk and polit­i­cal ten­sion, this graph­ic nov­el invites read­ers to immerse them­selves in the incred­i­ble sto­ry of the Tibetan spir­i­tu­al and polit­i­cal leader — brought to life by grip­ping nar­ra­tive and vivid full-col­or illus­tra­tions that jump off the page.

A tale of dan­ger and dar­ing escape sure to intrigue mid­dle grade read­ers while intro­duc­ing them to an impor­tant his­tor­i­cal fig­ure.” (School Library Jour­nal)
