In this sequel to War of the Eagles, fourteen-year-old Tadashi Fukushima and his close-knit three-generational family are exiled from their Japanese-Canadian fishing village to internment in Vancouver during WWII. Some episodes strain credulity, and dialogue is awkward at times. However, Tadashi elicits empathy, and many of the details of the camp are vivid and realistic.
