Sorry, this didn't download so I couldn't read it.

Thirteen-year-old Jasmine is deeply hurt and angry when she learns that her father is leaving for work in China almost immediately and she must stay behind with her aunt in Victoria BC. While at her aunt’s house, she discovers a coolie outfit and decides to wear it to a school outing in Chinatown. Somehow, she is transported back to the 19th c. as the railway is being built. There she meets Keung, a young Chinese boy who is looking for his father who had come to Canada seeking work. He had brought with him a white jade tiger amulet hoping to sell it but, instead, it has placed a curse on Keung’s family. Now he has disappeared with the amulet and Keung must find him and return the amulet if the curse is to be lifted. Unfortunately, he isn’t the only one after the amulet and Keung and jasmine must race against time and danger if they are to make things right.

White Jade Tiger by author Julie Lawson is a Middle Grade historical novel. It offers a too often overlooked part of Canadian history wrapped in a story full of time travel and adventure. With its strong young female protagonist and its compelling storyline, this seems like a good read for any tween or early teen.

Thanks to Netgalley and Dundurn for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review
