Rosie loves her life in Hawaii. Her mom runs a kindergarten, her dad has a radio shop, and she has wonderful neighbors. But on December 7 everything changes. While it was mainly the Japanese Americans who were suspect after the bombing and US entry into the war, there was also suspicion of German and Italian Americans. Rosie's parents are called in for questioning and interned as is another aunt, their house is sold, their dad's business is taken, and some of their friends abandon them. Will Rosie ever be reunited with her parents? Can she learn to survive these different days?
What I liked about this was that it drew attention to the internment of German and Italian Americans.
