Ranger travels to San Francisco and meets Lily Chen. She was sent from China to America to work as a young servant, but she dreams of studying to be a doctor. When the Great Earthquake hits, Ranger arrives in time to rescue Lily from falling beams in the mission house where she lives. Together they flee to safety, stopping to help another girl, May Wong, save her little brother from the family's collapsed market. Lily and May try to make their way through the ruined city with Ranger at their side. But can they escape crumbling buildings and raging fires, all while facing anti-Chinese discrimination?

Industry Reviews

Praise for Ranger in Time: This excellent story contains historical details, full-page illustrations, and enough action to keep even reluctant readers engaged. -- School Library Journal The third-person narration expertly balances Ranger's thoughts between the appropriately doglike (squirrels! bacon!) and the heroic (Ranger's drive to find and protect). -- Kirkus Reviews McMorris's richly rendered illustrations heighten the plot's many moments of danger and drama, and Messner incorporates a wealth of historical details into her rousing adventure story. -- Publishers Weekly Readers will love following Ranger on his thrilling adventure along the Oregon Trail. What a great way to learn about history! -- Lauren Tarshis, author of the I Survived series"
