Helpful Score: 6
This is a great book with the story told by a 12 year old Colorado farm girl during WWII. Missing both her sister who has gone to the city to work in the war factory and her brother who has enlisted, Rennie befrends several Japanese who have come to work on her fathers farm. Tallgrass, the farm next to her family farm has been turned into a Japanese internment camp and we see the life of the Japanese in the camps through Rennie's eyes. The story depicts the prejudice and fear of the small town people and how Rennie's family fights these prejudices. I really enjoyed the story and the historical content and had a hard time putting the book down.
