Amazing!

Yung Lee is a young orphan girl living in China, and despite her bound feet, which causes her much pain, she is happy. But when her brother Yung Fong wants them to immigrate to California to seek their fortunes, Lee is dismayed. She doesn't want to leave China and the kind missionaries whom with she stays. But brothers are brothers, and to America she goes.Once in California Fong meets up with a family who agrees to take them in, and Lee makes friends with their feisty daughter Lizzy. Lee is excited to attend school, but her excitement stops when a boy named Howard O'Laughlin teases her and on one occasion steals her cup, which was a treasure to her and Fong because it had belonged to their parents.Will Howard ever accept Lee? And will Lee and Fong ever find enough gold to stay in America? Find out in this wonderful book!This is one of my favorite books out of the whole series. I once lent all the books to a friend of mine and she kept them for a looooong time. I'm just I own them and don't have to borrow them every time I want to read them!
