Camp Nine by Vivienne Schiffer, 198 pages

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person who is familiar with American history, but I had no idea that there had ever been Japanese concentration camps in Arkansas during WWII. I just thought they were all in California. This book is a fictionalized look at one of those camps, as told by a young white girl, friends with some of the inhabitants. This was well-written and a good read. The ending suited, but left me a little sad.
