A rescue story amid San Francisco’s earthquake

Ranger’s time-traveling rescue work brings him to San Francisco during the Great Earthquake, where he joins Lily Chen and May Wong as they try to reach safety. The emergency shapes the story’s path through damaged buildings and fires, while the girls’ efforts to protect family and help one another sit alongside the book’s depiction of anti-Chinese discrimination. Lily’s hope of studying medicine adds another thread to a story that connects disaster, friendship, and the limits imposed on Chinese immigrants.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in historical fiction and time-travel adventures.
  • Readers curious about the San Francisco earthquake and Chinese American history.
  • Kids who enjoy stories featuring animal rescue companions.

Book overview

Ranger, the time-traveling golden retriever with search-and-rescue training, helps two new friends survive the Great San Francisco Earthquake!

 

Ranger travels to San Francisco and meets Lily Chen. She was sent from China to America to work as a young servant, but she dreams of studying to be a doctor. When the Great Earthquake hits, Ranger arrives in time to rescue Lily from falling beams in the mission house where she lives. Together they flee to safety, stopping to help another girl, May Wong, save her little brother from the family's collapsed market. Lily and May try to make their way through the ruined city with Ranger at their side. But can they escape crumbling buildings and raging fires, all while facing anti-Chinese discrimination?
