At the age of eight, the book's protagonist, Chang, witnesses a sun bear being tortured to extract its bile for use in traditional Asian medicine. That night, she makes a promise to protect Vietnam's animals and decides to become a conservationist. We follow the story of how Chang succeeds against the odds, and also the story of Sorya the sun bear as Chang releases her into the wild. The book is evocatively illustrated by Jeet Zdung, who fuses traditional Vietnamese art with manga.
