A Daughter’s Review

Set in WWII, Weedflower is an amazing story about a Japanese girl who is forced to leave everything behind. Sumiko and her family travel to many different Japanese camps, while struggling to make friends along the way. But everything starts to brighten up when Sumiko meets a charming Indian boy! This book is great for any audience (yes, even adults) looking for a historical yet entertaining novel. It’s by the same author who wrote Kira Kira. – Victoria C., Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina
