(4) YA In this novel from the author of Baseball Saved Us, sixteen-year-old Dan Inagaki starts questioning the passive behavior of his Japanese-American family and community, who strive to blend in at all costs. The coming-of-age novel is inexpertly paced and lacks a strong denouement, but Dan's anger and frustration ring true and the 1970s Seattle setting is firmly established.
