Within These Lines by Stephanie Morrill

5.0

I really enjoyed this book! I had read another Japanese internment book a few weeks ago and decided I wanted to read another. I was a bit worried about it being young adult, as I was looking for a more mature read, however I found it still tackled important topics of race, interment and the pro-Japan uprising within the internment camps. As with many YA books there were star crossed lovers but I felt the author was able to tell a story that would hold the interest of a young adult reader while still engaging anyone interested in the historical significance of the setting. I would definitely recommend this book to adults of all ages, and am glad to see a historical fiction book that might engage younger audiences to learn about the past!
