This book is made for young kids to teenagers. Far below my reading level, as it would be described by teachers. But I love this book. It's so good. After reading this book, I felt interested in learning more about the actual 442, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team
Summary
-After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, all people of Japanese descent are rounded up and sent to "war relocation centers", better known as internment camps because of Executive Order 9066, deeming them "enemy aliens." Yukus "Yuki" Nakahara and Shigeo "Shig" Omura join the US Army with other men to try and prove the Japanese people can be trusted. They get assigned to the famous 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an all Japanese military unit. They both see intense combat, face racial prejudice from other soldiers, the enemies and even people back home. But they also prove, along with the other Japanese soldiers from this unit, that the Japanese people can be trusted
