"Great book with challenging language, complex emotions and rich historical background. Great symbolism with the Dragon's Gate and the Mountain. Kids can do supplemental nonfiction readings or research on Chinese migration, Chinese politics in the late 19th century, the race to build the transcontinental railroad, race relations, strikes and labor relations. It's 6th grade reading level."
"I really liked this book. It was a simple explanation of what the Chinese went through durring the early american west. I liked reading from the Chinese's point of view. I feel like it taught me."
"This is a Chinese cultured book, but i'm telling you guys. It's not boring! It's the time when chinese people just started to open their minds and attention to the world and the American people always keeping their eyes on Gold rushes. The main character accidentally kills a chinese soldier who was trying to hurt his friends so he migrates to America's golden mountain nearby the Rocky mountains where his dad works. He suffers pain from frost and brutal cruel from other people because he's the youngest and the newest of the workers which means he doesn't know anything there and he points out anything he sees wrong or argues with others about their mandatory system. Find out the resolution of this book by reading it!"
