Review: Home at Last!

Journey Home is a great book to read. Young children will love the book and will learn the hard times the Japanese had together.
The books main character is a young Japanese girl named Yuki.
During the war Yuki and her family got sent away to a concentration camp. Her father was told to leave their family and join the army.
While at camp Ken decides he and a friend also want to go serve in the army. A year passes and Yuki and her mother are still at camp. Papa comes back, just as a train comes. Yuki, her mother, and her father go on the train back home. When they are at home Ken called to tell them he is in the hospital. He came home a little later and everyone was worried. Yuki was sad but things had to be done. Papa and a friend were working in a corner market grocery store together and Yuki and mother helped too.
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me turning the pages until I was done. The reason I think this book is a four star book and not a five star book is because sometimes when the characters were talking it got to be a bit boring. I also didn't like how the author told a lot of the same things over again.

Summary: No Judging people
Review: The book problem is that this girl Yuki is a Japanese girl that has had a tough life all in all but it gets even harder after she gets out of the * HOLDING CAMP* as they call it. This has taken place after World War II Yuki wants things to go back to the way they were before the war and people started to judge people. So many things change she wants to move back and have the same friends and know the same people, but they had to go on with there lives and make new friends. So they move to a church and make new friends and start there lives over. After this they start a business but something tragic happens to it so back to the beginning.
I loved this book it gave me more insight on the war and tough me that the U.S. did not always choose the best decisions. It was sad but very interesting to read. I learned how it would be for these and other cultures to live through racism. It also showed how people forgave other people and how they did not judge. This was a great book and maybe the best book I ever read.

Review: This is the best book ever. It is about a young girl, Yuki, who is sent to a few Japanese concentration camp. She deals with many of the hardships that the Japanese faced during this important period of American/Japanese history. This book made me cry, laugh, and learn. It is EXTREMELY well written, and i would reccomend this book to anybody, and i already do. If you are planning to read this book, make sure you read Journey to Topaz first, also by Yoshiko Uchida.
