(3) 4-6 In the late nineteenth century, Chinese immigrants were forbidden from entering the U.S. In 1889, thirteen-year-old Clementine finds a half-dead Chinese man in a burlap sack in the sea. What follows is an eerie, atmospheric tale of friendship, family, and betrayal. Despite some anachronistic language and actions, the author convincingly takes readers to the San Juan islands setting.
