Reviews with the most likes.
Imagine being American and placed in an internment camp because the government perceives you to be a potential threat. No charges levied against you, but you and your entire family must leave immediately, abandoning your lives, jobs, homes, schools.
The author handles these subjects fairly well considering, and she showcases how resilient children can be when faced with the unknown.
