NOTES

Amy is a thirteen-year-old Japanese-American girl from Hawaii. When her great-grandmother falls ill, Amy travels to visit family in Hiroshima. But when the Japanese navy attacks Pearl Harbor, it becomes impossible for Amy to return to Hawaii. Conscripted into translating English radio transmissions for the Japanese army, Amy struggles with questions of loyalty and fears about her family amidst rumors of internment camps in America. Torn between two countries at war, Amy must figure out where her loyalties lie and, in the face of unthinkable tragedy, find hope in the rubble of a changed world
