For this review, I read the book The Bracelet. This book is about a Japanese-American girl, Emi, who has to move to an internment camp with her family because of World War II. The family lives in a horse stable. The book takes place in 1942. Emi struggles with leaving her home and friends.
What I really liked about this book was that it is historical fiction. It is great for students to learn about history and the emotions the people of that time faced. A great way for students to do this is through historical fiction.
I reacted to this book the way that I did because I love historical fiction. I teach social studies to all of the third grade classes in my school, and I am always looking for great pieces of children's literature to serve as teaching tools.
Other books by this author include: A Jar of Dreams, The Best Bad Thing, The Happiest Ending, Journey Home, Journey to Topaz, The Invisible Thread, The Magic Purse, and many more.
