　　In 1867, Otter travels from Three Willows Village in China to

his father and uncle.

In spite of the presence of family, Otter is a stranger among the

other Chinese in this new land. And where he expected to see a land

of goldfields, he sees only vast, cold whiteness. But Otter's dream

is to learn all he can, take the technology back to the Middle

Kingdom, and free China from the Manchu invaders.

Otter and the others board a machine that will change his life --

a train for which he would open the Dragon's Gate.

　　Grade 6-10-Yep uses the lively storytelling techniques of his

"Dragon" fantasy-adventure novels to re-create a stirring

historical event-here, the construction of the transcontinental

railroad. Serpent's Children (1984) and Mountain Light (1985, both

HarperCollins) described the political and natural disasters that

led to widespread famine in 19th-century Southern China. Cassia and

Foxfire, the "Serpent's Children," came from a long line of

revolutionaries. Foxfire followed his dreams across the sea to the

"Golden Mountain," California, where he earned enough money to

revitalize his village. Dragon's Gate opens in China with Foxfire

making a triumphant visit home. Otter, Cassia's adopted son, who

tells the story, worships his uncle and longs to follow him back to

the Golden Mountain. Granted his wish at last, Otter finds Foxfire

working on "Snow Tiger," a mountain in the Sierra Nevada range,

where Chinese laborers strive to hew a tunnel through solid rock.

Appalled by the living conditions and disillusioned with his uncle,

Otter must struggle to survive racial prejudice, cold, starvation,

the foreman's whip, and the dangers of frostbite and avalanche

while trying to reconcile his ideals and dreams with harsh reality,

and to find his place in a strange land. Combining believable

characters with thrilling adventure, Yep convinces readers that the

Chinese railroad workers were indeed men to match the towering

mountains of the west. Because the first few chapters, set in

China, may be a bit confusing to children who have not read the

previous two books, this will likely need booktalking.

媒体评论

* For the first time, the interconnected titles in Laurence

Yep's saga of Chinese American history will be packaged as a

series. * Yep is one of the most noted Asian-American children's

book authors of our time. * Stunning package draws on traditional

Chinese design and will appeal to all ages. * This Newbery Honor

title is highly readable, historical fiction set in the mid

nineteenth century.
