History and folklore merge in this colorful graphic novel for middle-grade readers. It’s 1885, a few years after the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and thirteen-year-old Mei and her father work in a Sierra Nevada logging camp. Around the campfire, Mei tells stories of Po Pan Yin (Auntie Po), a giant, elderly Chinese matriarch reminiscent of Paul Bunyan. With Auntie Po and her blue water buffalo Pei Pei as guides, Mei must navigate rising racial tensions among the workers and her budding romantic feelings for Bee, the foreman's daughter.
