Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover, Sorry this is late Crystal!

    Thin Wood Walls was rated four and a half stars on Amazon and on google books it was rated three and a half stars. Lots people who put reviews on google books said that they really liked how the author (David Patneaude) had written this book focused on the World War Two Japanese internment from the perspective of a child. Lots of people said that they liked it even though it seemed to them to be more for younger ages. One person said and I quote,


"A wonderful, though simplistic (this is a children's novel), insight into the Japanese Internment Camps during World War II. I was most impressed by the friendships illustrated in this book."
While another person said,

"Three and a half stars. Well enough done and about what I expected from a juvenile novel. Good treatment of the Japanese internment camps, lovely family relationships and a couple of incredible friendships."
 Both these people put these reviews on google books.

Thin Wood Walls was a  2006-2007 Mark Twain Award Nominee and was on the William Allen White Young Readers List.
