(3) 4-6 During World War II, Jay moves with his mother from Salt Lake City to rural Delta, Utah. As Jay makes new friends and hones his baseball skills, he confronts the prejudice against his Navajo heritage while struggling to overcome his own toward Japanese Americans. All the while, he wrestles with his complicated feelings about his missing-in-action father. Familiar characters and themes populate this solid historical novel.
