Color of the Sea di John Hamamura

This book had a lot of potential, but I just never really got into it that much. It takes place in the 1930s-1940s, and tells the story of a boy born in Hawaii to Japanese parents. He spends most of his early childhood in Japan, moves back to Hawaii during his teen years, and later moves to California. The book had a lot of potential for addressing the cultural and political struggles of Japanese-Americans during World War II, but I never felt too invested in the characters or the story.

what a great read! very well done... so glad I read this... an intriguing story that also affirms and/or educates. I wonder if the author wrote more. he certainly is talented. (John, if you're reading this, write and send forth your gift.)
