A powerful historical graphic novel about a teenager pulled back in time to a World War II Japanese internment camp, where she witnesses her grandmother's experience and one of the darkest chapters in American history--perfect for fans of They Called Us Enemy and The Devil's Arithmetic.
Kiku is on vacation in San Francisco when suddenly she finds herself briefly displaced to the 1940s Japanese-American internment camp that her late grandmother, Ernestina, was forcibly relocated to during World War II. Then, just as suddenly, she's back in her modern life. These displacements keep occurring until Kiku finds herself stuck back in time. Living alongside her young grandmother and other Japanese-American citizens in internment camps, Kiku gets the education she never received in history class. She witnesses the lives of Japanese-Americans who were denied their civil liberties and suffered greatly, but managed to cultivate community and commit acts of resistance in order to survive. Kiku Hughes weaves a riveting, inspirational tale that highlights the intergenerational impact and power of memory. This critically acclaimed and visually stunning graphic novel explores: - Japanese American incarceration during World War II
- Time travel and historical fiction for teens
- Intergenerational trauma and family memory
