Brendan O'Connor is an orphan boy that delivers bakery goods to local businesses. Dai-Yue is a 13-year old distraught Chinese girl who lives with her uncle, whom has arranged a marriage with an older man. The narrative of the chapters alternate between the two protagonists. Although some parts of the plot seem to be far-fetched, it was well researched, and if offers a historical fictional account of the 1906 earthquake. Recommended for middle school collections.
