About this title: Eleven-year-old Yuki Sakane and her family are living in California when the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. Suddenly, it seems as if all people of Japanese descent are seen as suspicious. Soon Yuki's father is taken away by the FBI, and Yuki, her mother, and her brother are sent to an internment camp--first at the horse stalls of the Tanforan Racetrack and then at a desert camp called Topaz. Life in the camp is scary and difficult, and Yuki wonders whether she and her family--and the thousands of other Japanese-Americans held in internment camps--will ever get their freedom back.

"While there is a law against her parents becoming citizens, being born in the United States, Yuki and her brother Ken are American citizens. However, because they are Japanese also, they are required to evacuate their homes along with the other Japanese residents on the West Coast.
The Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor and anybody in the United States looking like the enemy is treated like a prisoner. Yuki, her mother and brother are carted off to an internment camp. Their new "apartment" in the camp is a horse stall. The bathroom and shower stalls were about 100 feet outside their stable, none of which had doors. Instead of sinks, they were to wash their hands in a trough.
Now they move again to an internment camp in Utah's desert. One of the prisoners has been shot for seemingly no reason. Another collapses.
I tied in my reading of this book with Dean Hughes book from his Children of the Promise series entitled Rumors of War since they both deal with the same time frame."
"The book is pretty basic but teaches about what it was like to be in a Japanese Internment Camp during WWII. I liked the history, but not the way it was written."
"The book Journey to Topaz is an intriguing book. The author, Ushida, brings up an issue of discrimination against the Japanese during World War II, after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Ushida describes this situation in the point of view of an eleven year old Japanese girl named Yuki Sakane. She goes through a hardship when her father gets taken away by the FBI. Being separated from her non-Japanese friends, She was forced to move out of her house and moved into camps (Tanforan Racetrack and in the deserts of Utah) with her brother and mother. She meets new people and become friends with them. When Yuki moved to Desert of Utah, she met Emi and Emi's grandparents. There, Yuki faces problems, like dust storms, friendship, and hard living conditions with her brother and her surroundings. This book is a very intriguing and interesting. I enjoyed this book and was really hooked in. I liked how this book was written with a point of view of a Japanese girl instead of being narrated by the author. This book would be great for people who enjoy the topic of discrimination. I would also recommend this book to people who wants to know how it was like to be "in prison" during world war II."
