Good Fortune: My Journey to Gold Mountain by Li Keng WongMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a very interesting biography, that is a perfect fit for middle school students. The year is 1933, and the place is a rural community in China. Li Keng Gee's father is far away in Gold Mountain, and is sending for his family to come and live there with him. Gold Mountain is, of course, America. Li Keng is seven years old, and tells her story in a very simple way. The hardships and triumphs that she experiences as she becomes an American are quite fascinating.
This is the story of an immigrant family with determination, and we find out that Li Keng actually goes to college and becomes a teacher!
