This is a touching story told from the perspective of a 13 year old girl growing up on the Kansas plains during WWII. Her life is changed when a Japanese internment camp is set up just down the road from her family's farm. Over the course of the book she learns about strength of character, right and wrong, and takes on more responsibility than she should need. I really enjoyed the perspective from which this book is written which helped certain events to unfold in the reader's mind. There were surprises that kept the book going while giving a glimpse of what daily life was like during WWII.
