Summary: In 1885, thirteen-year-old Mei works in a Sierra Nevada logging camp, reimagining Paul Bunyan as Auntie Po, a Chinese heroine. Amidst racial tensions post-Chinese Exclusion Act, Mei clings to her stories while grappling with camp politics and her deepening feelings for her friend Bee. As she weaves tales of Auntie Po, Mei explores who owns a myth and how immigrant communities preserve their traditions while carving out a place in America. Will Mei's stories be enough to anchor her in a world that challenges her identity and heart?
