The Journal of Ben Uchida: Citizen 13559 Mirror Lake Internment Camp
After the time of the Pearl Harbor bombing many people in California couldn't trust the Japanese people. This book is based on a boy named Ben Uchida and what changed in his life during WWII. This book is basically the boy version of the Diary of Anne Frank. This story helps show a different side of WWII the way we were brought up on. We were always told the Germans put the Jews in concentration camps just because they are Jewish and they didn't like the ajews. But we did the same thing to the Japanese people by taking them away and putting them in concentration camps just because they are Japanese. Overall, I would recommend this nook to boys or girls that want to see a different side of WWII or people who like Anne Frank but want to see something similar.
