SYNOPSIS: Sumiko has always stood out from her classmates. As a Japanese-American girl living in the midst of WWII, her life is turned upside down. Her family is sent to Japanese Internment camp, where she spends her day fighting the Ultimate Boredom. In the end, she must decide who she wants to be in a country that doesn't celebrate her heritage.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: I thought this was a great portrayal of life as a Japanese-American girl in the WWII era. The character was strong, smart, and believable. I would recommend this book to preteen and teen readers.
