\nIn this graphic novel\, "Sandy Saito looks back to his childhood in 1940s Vancouver\, when he was eight years old. He's a happy kid: he goes to sch ool\, reads comic books and is obsessed with baseball -- especially the As ahi baseball team\, the pride of the Japanese-Canadian community. Then the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor -- and everything changes. The kids Sandy used to play with every day now call him names and chase him from the playgrou nd. He and his family are no longer permitted to go outside at night or vi sit certain areas of the city. Japanese-Canadians are stripped of their ri ghts\, their jobs and their homes\, and soon the government begins to roun d up Japanese families\, sending them to internment camps. It isn't long b efore Sandy's family is among them. The reader accompanies Sandy on his jo urney to the camp and the seasons that follow in this historically accurat e portrayal of a grave chapter in both Canadian and American history." -Pu blisher's Book Description
