Experience Solar-Powered History!
There's something you should know about my dad. He's always inventing! When I asked him why Japanese Americans left their homes during World War Two, Dad decided to create the coolest invention ever. My brothers and I knew Dad's solar-powered machine would be amazing. We just had no idea that Dad was about to send us on a breathtaking adventure through history!
Why did so many Americans of Japanese ancestry have to leave the West Coast and go to internment camps? What happened to them once they got to the relocation centers? And why does our new friend Kimiko look so familiar that I'm just sure we've seen her somewhere before?
Join me, Lake Otis, and my brothers, Benson and O'Malley, as we investigate these questions in What, No Sushi?: My Solar-Powered History at a Japanese-American Internment Camp, the first book in the My Solar-Powered History series!
Author Biography
Alana Terry loves homeschooling. She loves it so much that in addition to teaching her three boys at home, she also leads clubs and day camps for homeschoolers in her community. An eclectic homeschooler at heart, Alana enjoys the freedom of family-directed learning and also plans interdisciplinary unit studies for homeschoolers of various ages.
In addition to the My Solar-Powered History series, Alana has published A Boy Named Silas: The First Five Years, the true story of her tube-fed son's complicated medical history. She also writes Christian fiction. Her debut novel, The Beloved Daughter, won second place in the 2012 Women of Faith's writing contest.
Like Lake, Benson, and O'Malley's mother, Alana is half-Japanese. She can't make sushi as well as her grandmother, but she sure loves to eat it!
