Journey to Topaz: A Story of the Japanese-American Evacuation by Yoshiko Uchida

4.0

This was a required read in elementary school, as part of a larger unit about the Japanese and Japanese-American experience circa WWII. I enjoyed the book, and I really liked the simulation we did: the teachers had us pack and bring in bags (if you forgot, they gave you a stack of dictionaries) that we had to carry throughout a very long walk around the school, then we measured out chalk outlines for "cells"/rooms as described in the book.
