Melting Pot the Diary of Edward Chek Chee Sydney

The year is 1901 and Australia is about to become its own country, forging
a new identity independent of Great Britain, with its own governing body
that unites the independent colonies as one nation.
Melting Pot is the diary of Chek Chee, a Chinese boy living in Sydney’s
Chinese community; but for this boy life is unusually different. Not only
are the Chinese about to suffer the threats and racism imposed by the
new immigration policy, but also Chek Chee must face being an outsider
amongst the Chinese as well, as his mother is a white Australian.
Melting Pot is an exciting story that deals with the struggle between two
cultures, family relations, treading the fine line between honesty and
crime, and gang culture on the wharfs of Sydney.
