Firefly & Fern Summary

Dragon's Gate is a compelling historical novel that transports readers to 1867 during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, where a young Chinese immigrant named Otter must navigate a dangerous new world far from his village. Through vivid storytelling and rich cultural detail, Laurence Yep brings to life the courage and resilience of Chinese laborers whose contributions to American history are often overlooked. Children will discover themes of family loyalty, cultural identity, and the determination needed to overcome impossible odds.
