Booklist--April, 2000 Yep, Laurence. The Journal of Wong Ming-Chung. Apr. 2000. 224p. illus. Scholastic, paper, $10.95 (0-590-38607- 7).Gr. 4-7. In this novel, 11-year-old Wong Ming-Chung, better known as Runt ' starts keeping a journal in October 1851, when his Uncle Stone leaves their village in China for the Golden Mountain, the gold fields of America. Later that year, Runt makes the difficult and dangerous jour- ney as well, eventually finding his way to his uncle. Work- ing together at a rough mining camp, Runt finds good friends from around the world, violent prejudice against Chinese, and, eventually, a little gold. Runt's quiet voice draws readers into an eventful and sometimes moving story. Well-drawn settings and characters on both sides of the Pacific contribute to the readers' sense of being there, transported through time to observe a unique era in American history and to watch Runt grow in confidence, cleverness, and self-reliance. A solid historical fiction choice from the My Name Is America series, the boys' division of the Dear America books. As with others in the umbrella series, a selection of photos and illustrations and a long historical note is included at the back. -Carolyn Phelan

    A very engaging and fun book to read, paints a very vivid picture of his life before and during the trip to Gold Country.

    I have read several journals from the argon arts who came to the California Gold Rush from all around the world. This particular journal starts at home in China written by a young child who has a gift for words. He starts off by drawing the reader into his life before they came America and the way he uses words is so whimsical and different that it is worth buying this book just to read his writing style. For example he speaks about his father who was a pessimist "No matter how blue the sky, Father could always find a cloud". Great affordable book, my only complaint is I wish it were hundreds of pages more!
