Nothing is like the journey home.,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Journey Home (Aladdin Books) (Paperback)
" You may journey far and wide in your life, but there is nothing like the journey home. "The book journey home is an out standing example of a young girl's bravery and courage during WW2. The story begins when Yuki and her family are released from concentration camp to travel back to their home in Berkeley California. When they got there Yuki feels UN welcomed and afraid, because people have been prejudiced toward her and many Japanese Americans. Yuki shares a close relationship with her brother and is disappointed when he wounds his leg in war. Yuki knew things would be different, but she didn't know things would change so much that her best friend Emi wouldn't want to do the things with her like they use to do. Yuki wishes for a return to the time before the war, but realizes things will never be like they were. I liked this book because it is a heart-warming story told by a young girl discovering that life has joys among hardships

MY FAVORITE BOOK, ALONG WITH JOURNEY TO TOPAZ,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Journey Home (Aladdin Books) (Paperback)
This is the best book ever. It is about a young girl, Yuki, who is sent to a few Japanese concentration camp. She deals with many of the hardships that the Japanese faced during this important period of American/Japanese history. This book made me cry, laugh, and learn. It is EXTREMELY well written, and i would reccomend this book to anybody, and i already do. If you are planning to read this book, make sure you read Journey to Topaz first, also by Yoshiko Uchida.

Very Interesting,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Journey Home (Aladdin Books) (Paperback)
This was one of the best books I've ever read. I never knew that Japanese-Americans were put in internment camps during WWII. It was very interesting, but in some parts it was sad, because of racial issues. People called them racial names, segregated themselves, even did damage to their property just because they had a Japanese face. Thankfully, not all people were this way, like Mrs. Jamieson and Mimi's family. This book was very touching. I would recommend it to everyone. This encouraged me to learn more about Japan in World War II. If you liked this book, try reading "Journey to Topaz," "A Jar of Dreams," "The Invisible Thread" and "Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes."
