"In 1865, young Hoi came from China to help build the American cross-continental railroad. Only a skinny boy at first, his love for American pies quickly helps him gain in size and strength, and earns him the nickname 'Pie-Biter'. With the help of his friend, Spanish Louis, Hoi uses a clever ruse that sets him on the path to becoming a successful packer. Ruthanne Lum McCunn's lively and inventive story is perfectly showcased through the colorful artwork of You-shan Tang. Pie-Biter is a true classic-in-the-making which will become a perennial favorite for generations of young readers to come". ]]>
