She describes their forced removal on short notice and life in the camp, until their departure in 1945. \"Mas Yubu\" was a UCLA student whose father was arrested by the FBI after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Along with his mother and brother, he is removed to Manzanar, where his father soon joins them. He eventually volunteers for the\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/442nd_Regimental_Combat_Team\" title=\"442nd Regimental Combat Team\">\n 442nd Regimental Combat Team\n </a>\n and serves in Europe. \"Grace Jones\" is a recent college graduate who takes a job as a teacher at Manzanar, where she remains until 1945.\n </p>\n <p>\n The main text is augmented with various prompts—\"Think About It,\" \"Analyze This,\" and \"Second Source\"—that align with Common Core standards. There is also a \"Look, Look Again\" exercise focusing on a photograph of a chaotic \"\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Assembly_centers\" title=\"Assembly centers\">\n assembly center\n </a>\n \" arrival scene, along with a glossary and list of additional resources.\n </p>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Additional_Information\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Additional_Information\">\n Additional Information\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p>\n Author Rachel Ann Bailey grew up in a small Kansas town and became a gifted education teacher in Kansas. After writing for children's magazines, she became a freelance writer of children's books and articles as well as lesson plans. She is based in Missouri.\n </p>\n <p>\n Though it is not indicated in the book, the three main characters seem to be fictional or composite characters, as their names and information don't correspond to any actual Manzanar inmates. The portrait photographs of the two Japanese American characters are taken from\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Ansel_Adams\" title=\"Ansel Adams\">\n Ansel Adams\n </a>\n ' photographs of actual Manzanar inmates Louise Tami Nakamura and Corporal Jimmy Shohara.\n </p>\n <p>\n As one of the few children's book to be vetted by a professional historian—in this case Greg Robinson of l'Université du Québec À Montréal—it is historically accurate. Though devoid of errors, a couple of scenarios are unlikely, though perhaps possible: white teacher Jones living in the same barracks room with Japanese American inmates for several months and returning veteran Yubu moving back into Manzanar after being discharged from the army.\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Brian_Niiya\" title=\"Brian Niiya\">\n Brian Niiya\n </a>\n , Densho\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Niiya, Brian\n </div>\n </div>\n </div>\n</div>\n",
