Bookroo's summary
In 1867, Otter journeys from China to California, expecting golden fields but finding cold whiteness. With his father and Uncle Foxfire, he aims to learn American technology to free China from invaders. As Otter boards a life-changing train, he faces the challenge of bridging two worlds. Will he succeed in his quest to open the Dragon's Gate and fulfill his dream of liberation?
From the publisher
Otter has always dreamed of going to America, “the Land of the Golden Mountain.” There, together with his adoptive father and his hero, Uncle Foxfire, he plans to learn everything he can about American technology. Armed with this knowledge, they can all return to China and carry out the Great Work - to free China from the tyranny of the Machu and other invaders.
