Eve Bunting's poignant text and Chris K. Soentpiet's detailed, evocative paintings make the story of this family's visit to Manzanar, and of the memories stirred by the experience, one that will linger in readers' minds and hearts.

This is a wonderful book about the trials and tribulations that were lived by Japanese Americans in "camps" during WWII. Japanese Americans were forced to relocate to these camps. It is a dark time in American history that is rarely (if ever) written about in history text books in schools.

So Far from the Sea is Amazing!
This book is a classic by Eve Bunting! It tells a part of history that is usually not told. It is about the Japanese Internment Camps in California during World War II. The pictures are beautiful and i is very well written. I would recommend it to anyone!
