They Called Us Enemy by Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott, George Takei
5.0

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm speechless

When I was younger I didn't like history or never have an interest of history and still now actually. It all changed when pick up this graphic-novel and decided to read it. I don't even look to my phone for notifications or I thought I will get bored and read something else. This graphic-novel was made me realize a lot.

This is about George Takei and his childhood. A war between America and Japan, since he is a Japanese -American, They have to transfer and live in a camp and a room of horse fresh manure. I really like how ignorant he was and he didn't even bothered to the change of setting, and a child who just wanted to have an adventure. I loved how his father told him everything when he question about the different words and meanings and not sugar-coat it. I love how his mother concerns and how she decided to bring something forbidden and doesn't care of the consequences so that her children has new clothes. This graphic-novel made me open up to history and how I missed a lot when I was elementary.

This book is a 5-star for me. Life-changing honestly.
