Dragon Road by Laurence Yep

Best friends Cal and Barney are down and out in Chinatown.  In the America of 1939, they are trapped by invisible barriers created by racial prejudice.  With no jobs and no real homes, it's only their wizardry with basketball that's let them survive this long.

Inspired by the pioneering professional Chinese American basketball team the Hong Wah Kues, Newbery Honor author Laurence Yep re-creates a colorful era of barnstorming basketball and leads readers through the heartache and glory of the Dragon Road.

The extraordinary intergenerational story of the Young family from Three Willows Village, Kwantung province, China, and their lives in the Land of the Golden Mountain--America.
