grandpa consoled him, and Chang was happy and motivated to buy a pony. He did not want to fail, so
he tried really hard to find gold with Big Pete.
2. Overall Rating of the book (3 highest - 1 lowest) 3
Comments: (Support your overall rating)
This book shows how people can be rude to other races, and that happens a lot in our society. I
experienced it before, so seeing this in a story can change students' views about how to treat others.
After the discrimination, Chang did not give up on his dream of having a pony. In fact, he tried harder
to save money and to buy one. Chang can encourage other students that read this story to never give
up on what you truly want.
