Ghost Train by Harvey Chan, Paul Yee

elizabethlk's review against another edition

4.0

Ghost Train is a touching book about a young artist finding that her father, like many Chinese men at the time, has died building railways in North America and how she helps lay him and the many like him despite not being able to recover the bodies. The story is tender and emotional. The art is fantastic. Ideal for older readers of picture books. Recommended.

Delicious ghost story with wonderfully vivid language. Wonderful for looking at North AMerican history to explore the working conditions of Chinese laborers and their role in building the railroads.
