Kiska


















Chalk this one up as another fascinating look at a historical event that I never knew about.  This one deals with the forced internment and mistreatment of Aleutians after a Japanese attack during World War II.  This was similar to Japanese internment.  The story follows Kiska who is based in a real girl at the time.  Kiska is able to secretly provide food for the community during their years there.  The book tells about the ordeal and what life was like for them.  Due to an attempted rape and some dalliances between soldiers and the women I won't have this in my library but it would work in a high school library.
