One of the most rewarding books I read and recommend is Caged Eagles by Eric Walters. This book takes place during World War 2 during 1942 and is about a Japanese family in Canada. The main characters are Tadashi, Yuri, and Sam. After Pearl Harbor happened the security was one of the key roles that played into these Japanese Canadians being into concentration camps. The story is mostly about a family being forced to leave their village and live in captivity. It’s a struggle for all Japanese that are forced to go their because they have to live in pig stalls and eat food that is not what they usually eat. Tadashi makes friend called Sam whose father is a wealthy business man. So Sam gets to buy anything he wants and finds a way to sneak out of the camp. They leave their prison and go explore only to be roughed up by white kids and forced to fight. They win and after the white kids come with back up that’s when they get corned by the prison camp and get beat up. Fortunately for them some of the Japanese people jump over and rescue them. It is a highly good book and makes you feel how the things work in a concentration camp. It has unity, family, friendship, and adventure. Overall I recommend this book for anyone that likes reading a fun and adventurous book.
