 Unforgetable March 14, 2008
Amazing story, great idea to think of this whole story. I feel bad for Yuki and her family. Although I'm glad it turned out pretty happy.

Journey to Topaz was an interesting book. It was sad and very touching. The main character was a sweet girl who was determined to help make things right for her loved ones. She and her family faced painful separations from their friends and even each other. It is a great book that shows you what Japanese familys had to go through during World War II.

Journey to topaz is a story that takes place during world war II. The main characters are a japanese-american family that is sent to an internment camp.
They are put through many trials testing their will.
I think this book is a wonderful story because it shows the reader what life was like at that time from the view of a person put into the camp.
A girl named Yuki is sent to an internment camp with her family, but her father is sent to a different camp. They were sent to this camp after the Pearl harbor bombing. In the camp, Yuki meets Emi, a girl that becomes her friend. When the family is released, Ken, Yuki's brother, wants to join the army and fight for the U.S.A.

Journey to Topaz was a great book. I think that this book was a very gripping and touching story. It taught me a lot of lessons, i.e. don't always complain that I don't have everything that I want because there are people in the world that aren't as fortunate as me. I've also learned that people should be treated equally, even if we don't have the same skin colour or the same hight, we are still the same on the inside. Now I know how hard it is to let someone, that you love, go. I can imagine how Yuki felt when her dad left her and when she had to let of Pepper. I also like the way the author added in Japanese words to make the book more interesting. This book showed that not only the Jews were effected in World War II, but the Japanese were just as scared and threatened as the Jews. I would recommend this book to everyone that thinks that Japanese people are spiolt and get whatever they want. I would also recommend this book to people that think their parents aren't getting them everything they want. All I want to say is that this was an excellent book and it taught many teachings.
