Editorial Reviews
“Preus mixes fact with fiction in a tale that is at once adventurous, heartwarming, sprawling, and nerve-racking.” —Publishers Weekly
“With superior pacing
and crisp pronunciation of Japanese names and words, Yaegashi creates an
engaging listening experience. The action-filled scenes aboard whaling ships,
as well as the everyday experiences on the farm in America, will hold listeners’
attention.” —School Library Journal
