- Synopsis
- Father looked serious. "One wrong answer, and you might be sent back to China." Like his older brothers before him, Sun is ready to move to America, the place known as Gum Saan, Gold Mountain. His father warns him, though, that passage to America will not be easy. Because of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, new immigrants like Sun are detained at Angel Island, where they must pass a difficult test before they can land. In preparation, Sun studies maps of his village and memorizes facts about his house and his family. But as the test draws near, the maps' compass points swirl in his memory, and Sun worries that he will lose his direction and be turned away. Based on a true story from the author's father-in-law, Landed vividly recounts an amazing chapter in Chinese American history.
