(4) 4-6 In WWII-era California, Aki and her Japanese family are sent to an internment camp. Sylvia and her Latino family lease Aki's farm, and the third-grader is forced to attend the "Mexican school" rather than the closer white school. While purpose-driven, the story, based on actual events, may encourage young readers to seek out other material on internment camps or segregation. Reading list. Bib.
