While reading this book I was reminded of a grandmother trying to tell her 4 year old grandson about her youth. It was not very entertaining. The art style helped add to my fading interest to the book. The story just seemed to be washed out of anything entertaining, and the pictures were even worse. I did not like this book. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Blumberg paints the historical picture of the birth of the transcontinental railroad in broad strokes. Written for young adults, she steamrolls through the Chinese labor used to build the railroad, the blasting of the mountains that stood in their way, conquering the arid desert, the conflict with the "wild" Indians, even the slaughter of buffalo, until she reaches the grand conclusion of the last spike celebration.
