When this happens, life changes drastically for Amber, for all the Japanese Americans and for the United States.With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. The Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, which is a harbor in Hawaii, and very near where Amber is living. They really become close friends, but then the worst possible thing happens. Neither like to do this, but they do it anyway.Īmber finds a new friend named Kame, who’s parents moved to Hawaii from Japan. Amber’s mom is forced to host some of the dinner parties and Amber is forced to attend them. Now they are moving to Hawaii.Īmber’s father talks to a lot of politicians and other people in powerful positions, which includes having lots of dinner parties and golf games. They’ve lived in places like Washington DC, New York City and Boston.
Her father is a journalist and his job requires the family to move quite a bit. Even though Amber is a fictional character, the author respects the reader enough to make the events historically accurate. I also liked that the writer took the time to research the time period and historical events he was writing about. The diary style writing was easy to follow and I enjoyed reading through the eyes of a kid. What I didn’t expect was that I’d really like this book. I had prepared myself for the fact that I wasn’t going to like this book.
