Dust jacket slightly worn, otherwise in good condition Media Reviews"A mounting series of coincidences does not detract from the suspense, which Platt keeps taut until the end." -- Kate McDowell, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Publisher NotesCordelia Lu Hankins is half Caucasian, half Chinese--and all albino. She has grown up isolated from the world, with her distant father and a giant stepmother named Babe (after Paul Bunyan's blue ox) in a remote lumber town in the Pacific Northwest. But in the summer of 1918, she meets Squirl. Squirl is charming, easygoing, and good looking, and Cordy falls desperately in love with him. One day they meet on the mountain and Cordy receives her first kiss, as well as a wild ride down a log flume that gets Squirl fired. SynopsesIn 1918, having run away from the Washington State lumber camp she calls home, a fourteen-year-old half-Chinese albino named Cordy makes her way to Seattle and finds work in a carnival.
