Silver People: A Tale from the Panama Canal
Author(s): Margarita Engle
One hundred years ago, the world celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal. It was a miracle. Where a mountain once stood was now a path of water connecting the world's two largest oceans. But creating a miracle is no easy task. This novel in verse tells the story of one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken.
