AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'In the mid-1850s, Australia is in the grip of gold fever. Kidnapped from their homeland, Miju and her older brother, Chung-Kai, work on the goldfields of New South Wales to save for their passage home. Their friend, Sam, and his father, Bill, are also trying their luck at the diggings ... In the dead of the night, a group of men raid the Celestial camp where Miju and Chung-Kai live with the other Chinese and Korean miners. Left with only a few possessions and their puppy, Ah-Poo, Miju and Chung-Kai's hopes of returning home are ruined. Sam is appalled by what he has witnessed and vows to help his friends get back their savings.' (Source: Back cover)
