Quake!: Disaster in San Francisco, 1906

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Papp. Separated from his family in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Jacob Kaufman befriends a Chinese boy, San. As the two search for Jacob's family, they encounter both prejudice and generosity. Historical details give a strong sense of time and place. The story is readable but overburdened by multiple plot elements, many of which are only superficially explored.
