A blog for kids and adults in the St. Joseph County/Michiana area who are interested in understanding how books are eligible for the Newbery, and discussing which ones are truly distinguished.
Fourteen-year-old Louise keeps a scrapbook detailing the events in her life after her best friend, a Japanese-American girl, and her family are sent to a relocation camp during World War II.
I've now read this one, and it's a wonderful book to recommend to girls especially, but to anyone (child or adult) interested in learning about WW2, the interment camps that Japanese Americans entered, or friendship. The research involved in creating this book is clear, and it was lovingly done.
