Description
The War Outside by Monica Hesse In 1944, Margot and Haruko are brought together in a "family internment camp" for those accused of colluding with the enemy. Despite their differences, they form a secret friendship that helps them cope with the challenges of living in a prison where everyone is suspected of being a spy. As they navigate the complexities of life in Crystal City, Margot and Haruko must confront their own fears and doubts. Margot's family is torn apart by her father's growing distrust of America, while Haruko struggles to reconcile her loyalty to her brother with her hatred for her father's past actions. Can two girls from different worlds find solace in each other when everyone around them seems to be hiding secrets?
