Bookroo's summary

Young Yao Bai embarks on his first voyage with his father and uncle to the Farallon Islands, seeking valuable seabird eggs. Their return journey turns perilous when pirates threaten to steal their hard-earned bounty. With courage and quick thinking, Yao devises a daring plan to outsmart the marauders. Can he save the precious cargo and prove his mettle on the treacherous seas? Dive into this thrilling adventure set against the backdrop of the California Gold Rush, where bravery and ingenuity are the keys to survival.

From the publisher

Inspired by the 1863 Egg War and the mad rush for murre eggs on the Farallon Islands near San Francisco, Yao Bai and the Egg Pirates is a high-seas adventure story celebrating the courage and history of Chinese immigrants in America through a fascinating yet little-known event during the California Gold Rush era.
