Joe is a happy, well-adjusted eleven-year-old living near Seattle. When Pearl Harbor is bombed, he and his Japanese-American family suddenly become the enemy. Joe's anger and confusion, the prejudice he faces in his small community, and his forced relocation to an internment camp are all handled realistically in this moving novel.
