A fine selection for historical-fiction fans." ―Booklist "Engrossing and heartrending." ―Publishers Weekly "It’s a novel that stays, bravely, in that place of pain, making clear that scars will be left behind not only for the children whose families were incarcerated, but also for the generations that follow. And yet, although the tone is sober and sad, it’s also a ­novel in which a mute child finds her voice, ­at last." ―The New York Times Read more About the Author Lois Sepahban lives in Herrodsburg, Kentucky, where she writes children's nonfiction books for the school library market.

My favorite quote from the book is something that is personal to me and how I've been feeling this year. "He will not replace Yujiin in your heart. But he will make your heart bigger to fit himself inside, too." I've lost my two kitties this past year within 9 months of each other. I've been having a hard time with it. Yesterday, we caught a wild kitten. I told my kids that I don't know if I'm ready for another kitten. This quote really struck something with me and the difficult time I've been having since I lost them.Besides dealing with the loss of a pet, it also brings to light a tragic time in US history. It's so sad what so many went through. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great introduction for children who want to learn about the Internment camps of WWII *by A***R on February 19, 2016* I just finished reading this book to my son and daughter, ages 10 and 8. My father, their grandfather, and his entire family were interned at Topaz in Delta, Utah during the war, ripped from their home in Oakland, CA. While I have tried to explain the camps to them many times, this thoughtful book, told from the perspective of a girl, really struck a cord with them and gave them insight as to what the camps really meant to families, to a child in particular. They could empathize with the hardship and guilt of having to give up a loved one and part of the family.We all had tears in our eyes after several chapters.They now have a better understanding of a part of Amercian history that should never be forgotten. And they learned that the human spirit is strong and resilient, and that love keeps people together. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Historical fiction worth reading... *by A***H on October 11, 2018* A historical, thought-provoking novel about a young girl mentally trying to survive her family's relocation to a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Although this story could be used as summer reading, I sure wish I had used it for instructional purposes with my 4th graders this past school year.
