Illustrated by
Jennifer Kindert.
Based on the author's father and grandmother's experiences, this compelling fictional account of the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in WWII is narrated by Choi, a ten-year old boy who becomes a slave worker for the Japanese and a secret member of the resistance movement. The text occasionally uses abrupt transitions; muted illustrations with spare pops of color are stirring. Extensive historical notes add value.
