A young girl named Minli lives in a ramshackle hut with her parents in the village of Fruitless Mountain, so named because nothing grows on it, and birds and animals do not rest there. One evening, her father tells her the story of the Old Man of the Moon, who knows the answers to all of life's questions. Inspired, Minli sets off to find the Old Man of the Moon to ask him how she can change her family's fortune. Along the way, she meets a dragon (called simply Dragon) who wants to ask the Old Man of the Moon why he, unlike other dragons, is unable to fly.

''Where the Mountain Meets the Moon'' is a 2009 novel by Grace Lin.
A young girl named Minli lives in a ramshackle hut with her parents in the village of Fruitless Mountain, so named because nothing grows on it, and birds and animals do not rest there. One evening, her father tells her the story of the Old Man of the Moon, who knows the answers to all of life's questions. Inspired, Minli sets off to find the Old Man of the Moon to ask him how she can change her family's fortune. Along the way, she meets a dragon (called simply Dragon) who wants to ask the Old Man of the Moon why he, unlike other dragons, is unable to fly.

!!Tropes included in ''Where the Mountain Meets the Moon'':
* ClutchingHandTrap: Invoked when monkeys refuse to let Minli and Dragon enter a peach grove. Minli boils some rice, then ties a fishnet over the pot of rice and pretends to be asleep. The monkeys reach through the net's holes to take the rice, but they grab so much that they can't pull their hands out. Since the net is too strong for them to tear, and since they're too greedy to let any of the rice go, they are unable to keep Minli and Dragon out of the peach grove.
* ADogNamedDog: The dragon calls himself "Dragon".
* OldBeggarTest: While Minli is looking for the King of the City of Bright Moonlight, a beggar asks someone to buy him a peach. Minli does so, spending the last of her money on it. She then catches a glimpse of a gold bracelet in the shape of a dragon under his sleeve and realizes he is the king, since only the imperial family is allowed to use the mage of a dragon.
