COMMUNITY REVIEWS

life of a Japanese family in Hawaii after Pearl Harbor submitted by camelsamba on June 22, 2015, 4:19pm Tomikazu lives in Hawaii with his little sister, parents, and proudly-Japanese grandfather. His mother is a housekeeper and his father is a fisherman. He and his school friends are passionate about baseball, and have to tiptoe around the local bully (whose family employs Tomi's mom). Typical kid stuff, right? Then about a third of the way into the book, the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor and life begins to change for Tomi's family - in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. One powerful aspect of this book is that nothing is presented as black-and-white. Tomi's friends care for and trust him, but are not afraid to say that they understand why others are scared and prejudiced against all Japanese.
