This book has much symbolism that does not come out in the book. This book lacks positivity and imagination. This book has a terrible ending nothing is accomplished not a good book for kids

This is another one of those books that I started out skeptical of, but now I've found it really great. It's about this young Chinese boy who joins his father in San Francisco a little before the great earthquake. The Chinese workers in the city are treated as very inferior, but when the Wright brothers make the front page, the little boy's father, Windrider, still manages to build his own glider and fly in it. They only make it, though, through the help of some devoted friends. This is a great book.
