Searching for WWII book from Japanese Perspective

[Katie]

I am searching for recommendations for books set in WWII and told from the perspective of a Japanese soldier, child, or other adult. It can be memoir, historical fiction, or non-fiction, but it needs to be YA appropriate. It can be set in Japan or in a Japanese Internment Camp.

Thanks!
Katie

this is an older book, a memoir set in a Japanese Internment Camp.

I can only think of this book, from the "My Name is America" series. It's a fictional journal of a boy in a an internment camp.

Yoshiko Uchida's Journey to Topaz is very good. It's based on her own personal experiences, which she tells in Desert Exile. For high school age readers the standard classic is Farewell to Manzanar.

Thanks for all of the input. Our 10th graders read Manzanar. It was my 2nd choice after Hiroshima.

We will keep looking at each book suggested. I really appreciate the help.
