Grades 3-5 This volume in the Children in History series (8 titles) provides simply written, accessible information about the experience of Japanese American children (nisei) who, along with their families, were confined in camps during WWII. The book's seven chapters provide essential information by focusing on individual young people. Thus, 14-year-old William J. Akiyoshi and his family were sent to the Minidoka Camp in Idaho, which?with armed guards always watching?felt more like prison than a confinement camp. Two In Their Own Words sections provide first-hand accounts of children's experiences. Information about deaths in the camps, loyalty oaths, and the end of the camps is accompanied by critical-thinking questions and plentiful illustrations, primarily period black-and-white photographs and infographics. Though no sources are cited, a glossary and a brief index are included.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
