(More customer reviews)Brendan O'Conner and Li Dai Yue are both twelve-year-old orphans living in 1906 San Francisco, unhappy with the circumstances of their lives but able to do little or nothing to change them. But the similarities end there. Brendan is Irish and works as a delivery boy, dreaming of rising from the poverty that he lives in. Dai Yue is a Chinese immigrant whose uncle has arranged for her to marry a much older man. The morning of the terrible earthquake, they are thrown together by fate. Now they must overcome their staggering cultural differences if they are to survive the disaster around them. This was a story not only about surviving a disaster but about the friendship between two children who come from very different worlds. Highly reccomend if you enjoy disaster and historical stories.
