Another immigration read

Landed, by Milly Lee, is an interesting story of coming to America. Usually our immigration stories are focused on Ellis Island, but in this story about a boy leaving his village in China and coming to join his brothers in America, the entry point is via Angel Island off the coast of San Francisco. The process of gaining entry is difficult because of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act and so the focus is on entry and not the journey itself. The story starts with his preparation for the exam and shows beautifully ho difficult it was to immigrate from China. There is a very informative author's note about the history of Chinese immigration and has additional resources.
