A Diamond in the Desert

Paperback

Author: Fitzmaurice, Kathryn
ISBN: 9780142424377 Publisher: Puffin

Twelve-year-old Tetsu eats, sleeps and breathes baseball. ItÕs all he ever thinks about. But after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tetsu and his family are forced from their home into an internment camp in the Arizona desert with other Japanese Americans, and baseball becomes the last thing on his mind. The camp isnÕt technically a prison, but it sure feels like one when thereÕs nothing to do and no place to go. So when a man starts up a boysÕ baseball team, Tetsu is only too eager to play again. But with his sister suddenly falling ill, and his father taken away for questioning, Tetsu is forced to choose between his family and his love of the game.
