Outrun the Moon was a very well written book. Outrun the Moon is about a young Chinese girl in San Francisco, 1906. The story is about Mercy Wong. Mercy is a very smart girl, and she wants to get her family out of the horrible Chinatown and onto Nob Hill, or a least provide her family with a better way of life. She manipulates her way into St. Clare's, the school where all the snobby, rich white girls go from around the country. Not even a whole 3 months finish, when disaster strikes. Mercy has to figure out she and these girls are going to survive. 
 This book is historical fiction and is based off the earthquake of 1906, in San Francisco. I thought it was very well written and the plot line was very and good and smooth. I really enjoyed this book.
