Description/Notes
Called boyish by her new family for being able to read and write, twelve-year-old, orphaned Spring Pearl's 'odd ways' help save the family during the 1857 Opium War in Canton, China. After the deaths of her parents, Spring Pearl is taken in by her father's wealthy benefactor. Unlike most Cantonese girls, Spring Pearl knows how to read and write, but not what she must learn to survive in Master Sung's hostile household. Illustrations.
