About a young girl named Michiko who is forced to leave her home and flee to another part of Canada due to racial discrimination towards Japanese during WWII. While people get suspicious of her ethnic background, a boy tells classmates she is an indigenous person of Canada. The only real big downfall of this story was the inaccurate spellings of some Japanese words. Although they were phonetically spelled to Americans, I found they were extremely misleading and culturally out of context for Japanese. I wish she would have used traditional spellings. ( ) Nine-year-old Michiko Minagawa bids her father good-bye before her birthday celebration. She doesn't know the government has ordered all Japanese-born men out of the province. Ten days later, her family joins hundreds of Japanese-Canadians on a train to the interior of British Columbia. Even though her aunt Sadie jokes about it, they have truly reached the "Land of No". There are no paved roads, no streetlights and not streetcars. The house in which they are to live is dirty and drafty. At school Michiko learns the truth of her situation. She must face local prejudice, the worst winter in forty years and her first Christmas without her father. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
