This book is so well written and the topic is incredibly important. It's nothing shocking to see how much of US history is left out in schools. I think this book handles teaching the truth of what the US did during WW2 to it's own Japanese Citizens is beyond perfect. It isn't scared to shy away from the truth and Traci Chee writing makes the book feel even more impactful and thought out.

I'm normally not a fan of books written from multiple perspectives like this because I have a hard time keeping things straight. But this book handles it so well and keeps everything very organized. I think my favorite character has to be Tommy as watching his character struggle with his desires, his parents expectations and demands, all while the country he's lived his entire life in, hates him for simply existing, is one of the most impactful. I also loved how his chapter was written in a way to resemble poems.
