Review # 1 was written on 2019-07-01 00:00:00 Glenn Edgar This is a story of friendship and hard to swallow truths set (mostly) in 1942 San Francisco. Mitzi is the new girl at school. Ruthie is dealing with growing apart from one of her best friends, and quickly strikes up a new friendship with Mitzi. While normal 10 year old play and talk ensue, growing anti-Japanese sentiment in San Francisco threatens their friendship. This novel is written for a young audience, yet manages to tackle the racism of the Japanese (American) internment in an accurate that is direct, and easy to understand for middle grade readers. I appreciated how the girls grew, in different ways, at the end of the story. I also appreciated the afterward that included historical facts about WWII and the Japanese internment in the USA. A good read for 10-13 year olds.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-12 00:00:00 James Burnell This book was about a Girl named Ruthie. At her school she met a girl named Mitzi. At this time the war was happening against the Japanese so everybody hated Mitzi. Except Ruthie. ONe day she had to move away. The best friends kept on writing back and forth to each other. This book was pretty good, and I liked it.
