Annotation In this latest chapter of the acclaimed series by the two-time Newbery Honor author, tensions between the American miners and their Chinese rivals are high in a small mining town. But two young outcasts forge an unexpected friendship that saves them from the town's hatred. Publisher Description In the Wyoming territory in 1885, life is tough, especially for Michael Purdy. An outcast in the small town of Rock Springs, he's either bullied and bloodied, or ignored. Michael feels he might as well be a ghost in this rough coal-mining town. But life is even harder for Joseph Young, a Chinese American boy and Michael's secret ally. Despised by the white miners, the Chinese work in dangerous conditions, struggling against poverty and racism. Still, Joseph yearns to be a "real American" — a dream his father and the other Chinese laborers can't understand. When the town's growing resentment toward the Chinese explodes, Michael and Joseph must test their unlikely friendship and trust each other with their lives. |
