The instant #1 New York Times bestseller, now available in a stunning new paperback look with bonus content.Pacific Rim meets The Handmaid's Tale in this blend of Chinese history and mecha science fiction for YA readers.
The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall of China. It doesn't matter that the girls die from the mental strain.
When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But when she gets her vengeance, it becomes clear that she is an Iron Widow, a rare kind of female pilot who can sacrifice males to power up Chrysalises instead.
To tame her frightening yet valuable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest male pilot in Huaxia, yet feared and ostracized for killing his father and brothers. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will take over instead, then leverage their combined strength to force her society to stop failing its women and girls. Or die trying.
This deluxe new paperback edition features eight pages of Chrysalis concept art and a discussion guide.

Fun for reading over FaceTime
Format: Board book
This is an adorable book! It’s so much fun to read with kids. My grandson loves it! I got it for him when he was 9 months old and he still loves it at almost 2.
Kids love the suspense of seeing what animal the zoo sent next and opening the flap to see. The pictures are cute and colorful and the writing is just right to keep little ones interested.
I live across the country from my grandson, but my daughter is good about FaceTiming. So I use that time to read to him. And this book is great for that. He loves when the flaps open to see what animal is there. (Although he already knows, because we’ve read it so many times.) But we love it anyway.
It’s a wonderful book. Definitely worth buying.

A Fun, Repetitive Book That Keeps Kids Engaged
Format: Board book
Dear Zoo has become a go-to read during playtime because the lift-the-flap feature keeps my baby actively involved. The simple storyline and repetition make it easy for young children to follow and anticipate what’s coming next.
Pros:
Lift-the-flap design encourages interaction and curiosity
Repetitive text helps with early language development
Short and engaging—great for babies and toddlers
Sturdy board book holds up well
Cons:
Flaps can bend if handled roughly
Very simple story, so older toddlers may outgrow it
Conclusion:
Dear Zoois a classic interactive book that works especially well for younger children.
