Description

In 1914, the arena celebrated the hole of the Panama Canal, which connected the arena’s two largest oceans and signaled The us’s emergence as a global superpower. It used to be a miracle, this path of water where a mountain had stood—and creating a miracle is no easy thing. Thousands lost their lives, and those that survived worked under the harshest conditions for just a few silver coins a day.
   From the young “silver people” whose back-breaking labor built the Canal to the denizens of the endangered rainforest itself, that is the tale of one of the most largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, as only Newbery Honor-winning writer Margarita Engle could tell it.
