This one is on my TBR. <BR/><BR/>I like Bookfool didn't learn about the internment camps until I was an adult, either.<BR/><BR/>It's a shameful part of our history, but it should be taught in school. I hope it is in the standard curriculum now.Teddy Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145413222317511542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-40594785198587411872008-12-04T19:22:00.000-05:002008-12-04T19:22:00.000-05:00I didn't know about the internment camps till I wa...I didn't know about the internment camps till I was an adult, either. Isn't that strange? You'd think it would have been worth covering in school, but perhaps it was something people didn't want to admit happened, for a time.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-40353453953317423132008-12-04T09:29:00.000-05:002008-12-04T09:29:00.000-05:00I've been meaning to read this one for a while now...I've been meaning to read this one for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it.

It's like this part of our history just got swept away--I'm glad to see so many books recently dealing with this time period--I'll have to add this one to the list.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-27841659316889827512008-12-03T08:36:00.000-05:002008-12-03T08:36:00.000-05:00Maw Books ~ I was not aware of the Japanese-Amerci...<B>Maw Books</B> ~ I was not aware of the Japanese-Amercian internment until I was an adult! It would be great to get this into the hands of children because I still don't know if it's taught here in the USA. I like this one much better than Kira-Kira. I'm not sure, but it felt like the protagonist was a little older - I liked that.<BR/><BR/><B>Bermudaonion</B> ~ I listened to this and didn't want to stop. It's not necessarily suspenseful, but I was engaged.Thoughts of Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572910467988997432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31208059.post-72673693172978679852008-12-03T08:11:00.000-05:002008-12-03T08:11:00.000-05:00I enjoy YA books and this one sounds like a good o...I enjoy YA books and this one sounds like a good one.
