YA
A wordless story, rendered in sepia tones, follows a Japanese American boy's internment camp life. An alternating tale, in tones of blue, involves a boy who steals from, then works for, a store owner--the now-grown youth of the first story. A camp experience has given the man empathy for the boy's errant behavior, and his compassion leads the boy away from a path of juvenile delinquency.

The woods behind eleven-year-old Dean's house are ideal for army games, but aspects of the adult world soon encroach. Trouble at school and an encounter with a homeless veteran alter Dean's self-confidence. This graphic novel convincingly captures the interior and exterior worlds of a preadolescent boy. Pyle's innovative illustrations show Dean's reality in duo-tone and his interior war-game fantasies in full-color panels.
