The descriptive account of life in an interment camp will help students realize some of the things that happened to young Japanese Americans. I enjoyed this book.

Weedfloweer, was a okay book, the setting was great and had a lot of detail. The characters weren't that well explained, but the story was good. The beginning is good, the middle is sort of boring it just drains on and on, but get through it because the ending is worth it. Good luck reading, it wasn't one of my favorites, but it might be one of yours. It has a lot of history... GOOD LUCK!!!

This book was great. If you like books that are not that sad, but still have that sad feeling. If you need a good book pick this up.

I liked this book but it would be better if Frank and Sumiko kissed and ran away together.

This book is so good. I love it.
Although, I wished Frank and Sumiko could of at least kissed. I loved reading the sections with Frank and Sumiko in it together. I think they would be a good couple.
