Student Ambassador: The Missing Dragon is a fun graphic novel filled with lots action, adventure, and a little bit of mystery. Best of all, in-between the action and laughs, the reader will learn about Korean culture and language! This is a funny story with positive messages – don’t be greedy, appreciate the little things, think of others, kindness matters.
Joseph is a student ambassador from the United States who is just the person to send on a diplomatic mission to Rhutar and keep the newly appointed child King Nang Nukatau III from declaring war on his neighbor.
Although both boys have special roles, they interact naturally. Joseph is nice and gets his way through kindness or sometimes cunning, and Nang is always taking what isn’t his, because he is a king, after all. The pair get into some serious, but funny binds, as they try to solve the riddle of the missing dragon. ( )

Adorable and so much fun! I love stories that don’t treat kids as if they’re stupid. A big chunk of the book takes place in Asia, from Nang’s country to Korea and Japan. There’s even a quick section on how to pronounce Korean consonants and vowels. I thought the story was cute, and the humor was funny. Major Saturday-morning cartoon vibes. The ending feels too easy, but it’s fitting. ( )
