Journal entries kept by Miss Hori's third grade class from March 8 to August 12, 1943 provide the springboard for an account of day-to-day life in the Topaz Relocation Center as it was experienced by Japanese-American children. Their brief, upbeat entries describing camp life stand in stark contrast to the grim realities described in the text and shown in the accompanying documentary black-and-white photographs. (Ages 8-14)
