Twelve-year-old Sumiko is one of the only Japanese American kids in her California school district. When asked to leave a classmate's birthday party because of her race, it is just the beginning of her troubles. Soon after, Japan bombs Pearl Harbor. Sumiko's family is thrown into upheaval as the U.S. government forces them off their flower farm and into a prison camp on an Arizona Indian reservation. There she meets Frank, a Mohave boy who-despite his suspicions of Japanese Americans-might become her first real friend. Author's note. Winner of the 2007 Jane Addams Award.
