(4) 4-6 Friendship Dolls series. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, eleven-year-old Macy is dismayed by the growing anti-Japanese sentiment in her Oregon town and becomes determined to stop the called-for destruction of a unique Japanese doll from her curator father's museum. Parenteau's third (later-set) book about the Friendship Dolls Exchange with Japan explores complications on the WWII American homefront; unfortunately, many aspects of the plot feel forced.
