Dragonwings is by Laurence Yep. This historical fiction story is part of Yep's Golden Mountain Chronicles which tell the tale of Chinese immigration to the West Coast of the United States. This story takes place in 1903 in San Francisco. 8-year-old Moon Shadow Lee travels from China to join his father and other relatives in America. This is a story of prejudice and the strength of family. Moon Shadow and his father must leave Chinatown and after finding shelter elsewhere begin to build a flying machine, but are interrupted by the great San Francisco Earthquake. A great story of the effort required to follow your dream.
Ratings: 6th grade - 8 out of 10.
