(2) 4-6 Kenji, whose parents are Manzanar detainees, comes to Bird's small Rhode Island town. While fishing, Bird and Kenji spot a submarine, but their story is dismissed; in fact, there is a spy in their midst, with plans to kill President Roosevelt. There's enough detail about the times, characters, and the airplanes Bird loves to keep the exciting narrative from becoming too over-the-top.
