Summary: Nothing is like the journey home.
Comment: " You may journey far and wide in your life, but there is nothing like the journey home. "
The book journey home is an out standing example of a young girl's bravery and courage during WW2. The story begins when Yuki and her family are released from concentration camp to travel back to their home in Berkeley California. When they got there Yuki feels UN welcomed and afraid, because people have been prejudiced toward her and many Japanese Americans.
Yuki shares a close relationship with her brother and is disappointed when he wounds his leg in war. Yuki knew things would be different, but she didn't know things would change so much that her best friend Emi wouldn't want to do the things with her like they use to do. Yuki wishes for a return to the time before the war, but realizes things will never be like they were. I liked this book because it is a heart-warming story told by a young girl discovering that life has joys among hardships

Summary: Home at Last!
Comment: Home at Last!
Journey Home is a great book to read. Young children will love the book and will learn the hard times the Japanese had together.
The books main character is a young Japanese girl named Yuki.
During the war Yuki and her family got sent away to a concentration camp. Her father was told to leave their family and join the army.
While at camp Ken decides he and a friend also want to go serve in the army. A year passes and Yuki and her mother are still at camp. Papa comes back, just as a train comes. Yuki, her mother, and her father go on the train back home. When they are at home Ken called to tell them he is in the hospital. He came home a little later and everyone was worried. Yuki was sad but things had to be done. Papa and a friend were working in a corner market grocery store together and Yuki and mother helped too.
I really enjoyed this book. It kept me turning the pages until I was done. The reason I think this book is a four star book and not a five star book is because sometimes when the characters were talking it got to be a bit boring. I also didn't like how the author told a lot of the same things over again.

Summary: MY FAVORITE BOOK, ALONG WITH JOURNEY TO TOPAZ
Comment: This is the best book ever. It is about a young girl, Yuki, who is sent to a few Japanese concentration camp. She deals with many of the hardships that the Japanese faced during this important period of American/Japanese history. This book made me cry, laugh, and learn. It is EXTREMELY well written, and i would reccomend this book to anybody, and i already do. If you are planning to read this book, make sure you read Journey to Topaz first, also by Yoshiko Uchida.
