MY NAME IS AMERICA: Chinese Miner

I have read Laurence Yep's work so often in American Girl that I always think he wrote more Dear America series books than he did. This one and Lady of Ch'iao Kuo for Royal Diaries are his only two.

I quite enjoyed this book, because it's a very interesting viewpoint. The mining details I'm not interested in ever, but Runt's life in the camp is more interesting than life in the white mining spaces. I really like his voice, too. He's a likeable character.
