Displacement
by Kiku Hughes
Kiku Hughes is on a trip to San Fransico with her mother when she is displaced through time to the 1940s, when her grandmother was forced to live in the Japanese internment camps. Kiku is displaced twice more, and each time she follows her grandmother and deals with the atrocities of the internment camps...while also meeting incredibly resilient people. When Kiku is finally transported back home, she and her mother (who also was displaced to experience her mother's time in the internment camps) connect over their experience, learn more about their past, and vow to stand up for others.
Absolutely stunning. Readers learn so much about the Japanese internment camps along with Kiku...and the connections to the events in 2016 are deftly handled. It is political, but rightly so. There were inklings of community/historical trauma, and it was refreshing to see Kiku's mother respond so encouragingly to Kiku's requests to learn more about her family and start to heal some of their pain.
