We Are Not Free by Traci Chee

Text from the back cover:


Fourteen teens who have grown up together in Japantown, San Francisco.  

Fourteen teens who form a community and a family, as interconnected as they are conflicted.

Fourteen teens whose lives are turned upside down when over 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry are removed from their homes and forced into desolate incarceration camps.  In a world that seems determined to hate them, these young Nisei, second-generation Japanese-American citizens, must rally together as racism and injustice threaten to pull them apart.

Ms. Sharp's quick review:  This was Gary Paulsen's last book...he will be missed.
