Summary: Dragonwings
Comment: Dragonwings
By Laurence Yep
Moon Shadow is eight years old when he sails from the Tang people's village in China, to America. Seeking his Father, someone who he has never met before. Un-expectantly, he finds his father among a group of Tang people at the shores of Angel Island. His father, Windrider, earns a living doing laundry for wealthy people in large estates all over San Francisco, California. Dragonwings was nominated for a Newbery award, but didn't win it.
In 1903, the immigrants came to the U.S. seeking better jobs with better pay. But the way Laurence Yep explained it from Moon Shadow's eyes; the Americans were 'demons' and 'demonesses.' Which was only true to them because they came at a bad time, when these Americans were not used to all these religions and cultures coming all at once. So they were prejudice with each other, as well as scared. The only nice 'demons' that they ever met were Mrs. Whitlaw and her niece.
It's really a book with just about everything in it, so you really must read Dragonwings.

Summary: Want a good Reading????
Comment: I just read this book. Its mostly about the hardships Moon Shadow and his father Windrider had to face in golden Mountain ( california).
I Believe it was very descriptive and yet had very simple themes. The themes in the story were mostly about friendship, your dreams, family and prejudice.
I think this is a great book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. ^_^
