Bookroo's summary

Julie, a spirited martial artist, is determined to earn her orange belt. Inspired by her idol, Brandy Wu, she encounters a new classmate who might outshine her. As Julie navigates rivalry and self-doubt, she must learn the true essence of martial arts: cooperation and inner strength. With guidance from a wise mentor, can Julie embrace these lessons and achieve her Belt of Fire? Dive into a vibrant world of action and discovery, where the journey is as important as the destination.

From the publisher

The long-anticipated sequel is here! In this second story, Julie continues her lessons, but she also learns the importance of friendship and the right attitude. Julie proudly wears her yellow belt and is eager to attain her next rank: orange! Inspired by the movie star Brandy Wu, Julie now meets a new kid in her class…but is he better than her? Julie grapples with unexpected challenges but another mentor enters the picture too. With some wise and helpful advice, can Julie earn her own Belt of Fire? - - - “My daughter was happy to see this as she too is a little ball of energy and there aren’t many English books with Asian girl characters like her! The comic book style fits well with the high energy character and Chua’s illustrations are great fun. We can’t wait for the next Julie Black Belt book!” - Perogies & Gyoza
