Very nice this book is also a calm book.It has many pages (I think over 400 or so) but it captures what s happening between two grandsons. It captures the war in the eyes of the japanese people. What they had to do in order to survive during the Pearl Harbor War. Much details and I loved everything about it. I read it in like a week or two about 3 summers ago. ]]>

This book has a good story about how a girl who is of the same ethnicity of the place she is going to gets treated as one of the locals, and she doesn't know a thing. I loved how the girl got along with someone in the book. She kind of didn't know which guy was best in the book but it comes out with a nice ending. ]]>

It is very different from other books. I could say it is not normal like some miss Lois Lowry's books but they are unique. This book has a daring girl who defies the rules of her community. The consequences she gets into changes her life dramaticaly. ]]>
