It's 1942: Tomi Itano, 12, is a second-generation Japanese American who lives in California with her family on their strawberry farm. But everything changes after the attack on Pearl Harbor…

An American story. A story of Americans. Frankly I think this should be in every middle grade class in America. I cannot recall learning about WWII Japanese relocation camps until I was out of school. If we did it was so glossed over I didn‘t recall it. So important to tell the story of all Americans. Reading this makes me want to read Dallas‘s adult novel on the subject, Tallgrass.
Sweet YA story (historical fiction) of American Japanese families "relocated" (imprisoned) to an internment camp in Colorado in 1942-1944 by US government order. A travesty ?
Fabulous middle grade historical fiction set in a relocation camp during World War II and told from the perspective of 12 year old Tomi.
