THE HISTORY FILE

NEW WORDS
TO THE READER


We Are the First Emperor! is based on true events. The three main adult characters in the story – Zhang Liang, the First Emperor and Prime Minister Li Si – weren real people. The book burning and Cone Plot actually happened, too. I invented the two girls, Wei and Ji, to help younger readers imagine an important time in Chinese history.
