Weedflower

By Cynthia Kadohata...what a great read!  I actually listened to this book.  The subject matter was about a period in American History that is not taught about as much as it should.  Now, it seems we are thinking about something like this time again...which saddens me.  We get to see how a pre-teen, teen growing up just after World War 2 starts...she is Japanese.  Her parents have died and she is being raised by her aunt and uncle on their flower farm.  But...Pearl Harbor happens...and Sumiko and her family is moved...first to an assembly center at a racetrack, and then to an internment camp in Arizona.  I highly recommend this book to any reader!  Lots of great information and the story is catching.
