I know these camps existed for a while in the 1930s, and, in fact, one of the first books I reviewed, Keep Smilin' Through by Ann Rinaldi, talks about the Bund and the summer camps quite a bit..Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-4218267997595698962015-04-29T08:25:59.491-04:002015-04-29T08:25:59.491-04:00I would be curious to listen to Tallgrass, as well...I would be curious to listen to Tallgrass, as well as read the book.

At one point, Ellis Island was used to inter Germans for a while.

It was definitely for an older audience (high school and up). I thought the characters were very well drawn. The tension was palpable for me at times as dissension between the towns people and the farm family steadily grows over the nearby internment camp . I'm sorry to hear this one wasn't so successful.

What a shame you were disappointed. I think I will skip Red Berries, White Clouds, Blue Sky and go straight for Tallgrass. Perhaps it will be more enjoyable.
