Single Shard is an amazing book that takes place in ancient Korea. Young Tree-ear is an orphan who lives under a bridge. When he stumbles into potter Min's work shop and breaks something, he is forced to go to work for her. He does well and is sent on a very important journey to deliver two very special vases to the palace.

In this story, an orphaned boy named Tree-ear breaks a piece of pottery of a famous potter, Min. Because of breaking this fragile piece Tree-ear must work for this wonderful potter. Tree-ear journeys to the city of Songdo to present Min's pottery to the Magistrate. Will he make it? I liked this book because of the adventure the boy has to take. His job was to last only a year, but Tree-ear wants to continue working and learning. Will his dream come true?
