Tomi was born in Hawaii. His grandfather and parents were born in Japan, and came to America to escape poverty.
World War II seems far away from Tomi and his friends, who are too busy playing ball on their eighth-grade team, the Rats.
But then Pearl Harbor is attacked by the Japanese, and the United States declares war on Japan. Japanese men are rounded up, and Tomi’s father and grandfather are arrested. It’s a terrifying time to be Japanese in America. But one thing doesn’t change: the loyalty of Tomi’s buddies, the Rats.

      Baseball and bigotry take the field in this outstanding recording of Salisbury's fine YA novel of the aftermath of the bombing of Pearl Harbor for one Japanese-American family. The compelling story of the multicultural community in pre-WWII Hawaii is rendered more vivid, thanks to the superb narration of Jeff Woodman. His ability to enable the reader to distinguish among Japanese, Portuguese and Hawaiian characters adds further dimension to the narrative. An excellent choice for middle school units on WWII, this is also a wonderful addition to the family-listening shelf. S.G. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
