Missing in Action

Dirty. Lazy. Good-for-nothing. Jay Thacker is used to being called names because his dad is half Navajo. But things are different after he and his mother move to a small town in Utah to stay with his grandparents during WWII. Jay makes friends and earns money working the fields for his well-respected grandfatherâ€”but he encounters a problem in Ken, a fellow worker whoâ€™s from the nearby Japanese internment camp. Kenâ€™s a Jap. And Jayâ€™s dad, whoâ€™s been fighting for the navy out in the Pacific, is missing in action. This moving story about an unlikely friendship deftly addresses themes of prejudice and intolerance, providing readers a glimpse of the past that enlightens the present.
