Reviews

A 2020 ALA Asian/Pacific American Award Young Adult Honor Title
Listed as one of YALSA's 2021 Great Graphic Novels for Teens

"A potent look at history and the lasting intergenerational impact of community trauma."--School Library Journal, starred review

"This graphic novel blends historical fact and science fiction into an enthralling time-travel tale."--Horn Book

"Art features straightforward linework with full-color, often spare backgrounds that focus on characters. ...Hughes centers [Kiku's] powerlessness to create a compelling story about an oft-overlooked period of U.S. aggression against its own citizens."--Publisher's Weekly

"Spare, fine-lined artwork in muted earth tones emphasizes the flat desert landscape and echoes the staid, somber tone of the narrative overall, which is dense with voice-overs reflecting on the reverberating impact of the camps on her family and the Japanese diaspora in general."--Booklist

"A timely and well-paced story of personal discovery."--Kirkus

"Poignant and powerful...a work of art that is both timely and timeless." --John Jennings, artist of kindred: a graphic novel adaptation
