Emily : across the James Bay bridge

Lawson, Julie, 1947-
Book 2001

Meet Emily, a spirited, fun-loving ten-year living in Victoria with her mother, father and sisters, Amelia and Jane. The year is 1896, and Emily, like many kids, pines for a bicycle, the latest craze. On the other side of Victoria's James Bay Bridge is Chinatown, a world as different from Emil's as can be. Thousands of Chinese immigrants looking for a better life in Canada call it home, including Hing, Emily's family's cook.
