abbielester 's review for:

This Light Between Us by Andrew Fukuda

4.0

---

Andrew Fukuda's new book is heartbreaking and dark and reveals the horrors of war for European Jews and the injustices done to Japanese Americans. Charlie's story is one we have heard before. It is a terrible story of pain and genocide--one which we must continue to tell. Alex's story is not as commonly known. Most people would rather sweep the truths of racism and Japanese internment under the rug, but it is a painful truth that while Americans were off fighting the good war for truth and justice in Europe and the Pacific, many communities in this country were marginalized and stripped of their rights as citizens. Highly recommended for grades 8 and up.
