To get the summary of the book you can go to any book site, if you want to know the feeling of the book, keep reading.
I have had this Newberry Honor Book since 2007, pretty sure I bought it at a school book fair. I finally decide to read it after moving classrooms twice and finally just bringing the books home. Now I wonder why I took so long to begin.
Excellent, impressive book that will make you smile, make you think, and make you a bit sad. It is a story of hope, struggle, family, and finding a place. The struggles of Chinese in California in the early 1900's is something that I had never really thought about, I now want to know more. The seperation of a family for many, many years I can not imagine but that is exactly what many families did then and still do today in the struggle for a better life.
This is a story written from the viewpoint of a boy who beccomes a man very quickly so even though it is written for children and the teen set it is a story for all ages, as all really good stories are.
