Description
Based on a true story in the winter of 1943... Fourteen-year-old Tai Shimoda's family has lost everything. Like many other Japanese-Americans at the start of World War II, Tai's family has been forced to leave their home and move to Tule Lake Relocation Center-a desolate camp surrounded by barbed wire in northern California. Though he misses his home in Sacramento, Tai keeps busy at Tule Lake hanging out with friends and training for the judo tournament. But as tensions in camp rise, Tai's brother, Ben, joins a group that has refused to swear allegiance to the United States. They call themselves the No-Nos. Tai's father calls them Disloyals. Soon Tai must decide what he believes. Will he join his beloved brother and the No-Nos or, like his father, remain true to America?

About the Author
Teresa R. Funke writes for children and adults. Most of her books and short stories are based on real people and actual events, and many are set in World War II. She says, "I chose V for Victory for my third book in the Home-Front Heroes series because I wanted my readers to see that we all have amazing stories within our own families. All we have to do is ask! I was excited to share a bit of history in this book from my mom's Mexican-American family. The Home-Front Heroes series was created in part to celebrate the World War II contributions of children and adults of various races, creeds, and religions. We have all helped build this wonderful melting pot we call America. Kids too!" Teresa also enjoys teaching new writers as a popular presenter and writers' coach, but what she likes best is spending time with her husband and three children at their home in Colorado. She'd love it if you visited her website at www.teresafunke.com to submit your own family's stories from World War II or other time periods, or to invite Teresa to speak at your school.
