Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Large Print's increased font size and wider line spacing maximizes reading legibility, and has been proven to advance comprehension, improve fluency, reduce eye fatigue, and boost engagement in young readers of all abilities, especially struggling, reluctant, and striving readers.
World War II has ended and twelve-year-old Hanako feels lost. America, the only home she's ever known, imprisoned then rejected her and her family because of their Japanese heritage. Japan, the country they've been forced to move to, is in shambles. The country is starving, and countless orphans beg for food on the streets--how can Hanako help them when there is not even enough food for her own brother? Hanako feels she could crack under the pressure, but just because something is broken doesn't mean it can't be fixed. As Hanako struggles to find her place in a new world, she will find that the thing to keep her from falling apart is her family."--Back cover.
