When Lily's great-aunt Tiger Lil is hired to publicize the opening of a new restaurant, she plans an all-out extravaganza. But a mysterious bomber sets off an explosion, and all her plans go up in smoke. Someone is trying to sabotage the restaurant! And now the police are writing off the case as a publicity stunt gone wrong. It's up to Lily and ex-action star Tiger Lil to catch the culprit themselves.
In this, his second book in the Chinatown Mystery series, award-winning author Laurence Yep has written a fast-paced, hilarious story that brings San Francisco's Chinatown to life.

Lion Dance Bomb
18 Feb 2003
Format:Library Binding
This book is a very exciting book. There is a character that owns a Chinese restaurant. To advertise the grand opening of the restaurant, she decided to have a lion dance competition between two martial arts schools. The winner of the lion dance competition would receive two thousand dollars, but then they would give the money to charity. Right before the money was given to charity the ball of money exploded, destroying the money and hurting two boys. The twist of the book is that in fact the money that was destroyed was not the original two thousand dollars, but only one-dollar bills.
Two amateur detectives give all their heart to solve the mystery of who was the bomber and the thief. The two detectives join forces with their original enemy, Kong and Lung. With the two forces united, the mystery can be solved. The solution will have you wondering how could the character betray their friends.
I liked the book. The book was dull in some parts, but overall it was a pretty good book. I liked the book because you could learn quite a bit about China town. The book gave you a somewhat good idea of what China town was like. I also learned how people from other cultures who speak different languages might feel about assimilation to America. I think the main point to this book is that it is important to not look down on people who are from different cultures because in the end they might become your best friend. I recommend that teenagers should read this book because you learn something while you are being entertained with the exciting mystery.
