With everything around them falling apart, Margot and Haruko find solace in their growing, secret friendship. And Margot is doing everything she can to keep her family whole as her mother's health deteriorates and her rational, patriotic father becomes a man who distrusts America and fraternizes with Nazis. 25, 2018 Interned in a Texas camp during World War II, Japanese-American Haruko and German-American Margot watch their families fall apart and are driven to depend on each other, even if they should not. In her first book, Girl In The Blue Coat, Hesse delivered a nail-biting deep dive into World War II, following a black marketeer in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam who is suddenly tasked with finding a missing Jewish teenager. Haruko finds herself consumed by fear for her soldier brother and distrust of her father, who she knows is keeping something from her. the war outside by Monica Hesse RELEASE DATE: Sept. Monica Hesse's books are like time machines vehicles that help us explore our past.

The teens discover that they are polar opposites in so many ways, except for one that seems to override all the others: the camp is changing them, day by day and piece by piece. Haruko and Margot meet at the high school in Crystal City, a 'family internment camp' for those accused of colluding with the enemy. The war seemed far away from Margot in Iowa and Haruko in Colorado-until they were uprooted to dusty Texas, all because of the places their parents once called home: Germany and Japan. It's 1944, and World War II is raging across Europe and the Pacific.
