The Kite Fighters by Linda Sue Park
The book The Kite Fighters takes place in Korea. It is about a boy named Young-sup Lee who loved to fly kites more than playing with any other toy or invention! He wanted nothing more than to win a kite contest. The New Year kite competition coming soon. Young-sup and his older brother Kee-sup enter it. The brothers are flying for first place despite the fact that hundreds of children are entering it. It is tradition that the elder heir must come in first and the younger in second.
