This book was such a pleasant surprise! I finished it in a day--I just couldn't put it down. One of the most mind blowing aspects of the story is that many of the situations were based on Kelly's real life experiences growing up as the a first generation daughter of Chinese immigrants in California. Reading about Mia Tang's experiences growing up in contemporary California made me think about the history of Chinese immigration in America. Often, I notice that the themes and topics that I am reading and learning about are connected somehow. I had started listening to "Outrun the Moon" by Stacey Lee (see below) shortly prior to picking up "Front Desk" because it is on the 2019 Nutmeg Nominee Teen List. About a week later, I was looking through my recorded episodes of PBS American Experience and was excited to see the latest recording was "The Chinese Exclusion Act." Near the beginning of the episode, a document scrolled across the screen entitled, "Coming struggle; what the people on the pacific coast think of the coolie invasion" by M.B. Starr. This led me on a search to see if I could find a digital version of the primary source. I came up empty, but my interest is piqued and I now have another idea for future National History Day topics! I love the journey that books take me on--I am never disappointed! |
