Weedflower is an interesting book. The setting is in America around the time of Pearl Harbor. The main charecter is a young Japanese girl named Sumiko. She lives on a farm and her familiy grows and sells flowers. The book is basicly about what happens to her familiy after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She is sent to camp full of other Japanese-Americans. The Camp is in Arizona. Sumiko also meets a couple of local indian boys who live on the resevation the camp is located on. Later on in the story Sumiko enter a gardening contest between the other camps. She finds a way to bring happiness in her life even when they had to sell their farm and all of their prized belongings. Sumiko reminds us that you can always turn a bad situation into a good one. This book is about life, love, and hope. I recomend this book to everyone becuase the chapters are only 3 to 5 pages long. This book is hard to put down.
