{"product_id":"the-girl-with-the-white-flag","title":"The Girl with the White Flag","description":"New York Newsday called this memoir of a warhood childhood in Japan \"one of the saddest and yet most uplifting books about childhood you will ever encounter.\"\n\nSeparated from her family in the confusion and horror of World War II, seven-year-old Tomiko Higa struggles to survive on the battlefield of Okinawa, Japan. There, as some of the fiercest fighting of the war rages around her, she must live alone, with nothing to fall back on but her own wits and daring. Fleeing from encroaching enemy forces, searching desperately for her lost sisters, taking scraps of food from the knapsacks of dead soldiers, risking death at every turn, Tomiko somehow finds the strength and courage to survive.\n\nMany years later she decided to tell this story. Originally intended for juvenile readers, it is sure to move adults as well, because it is such a vivid portrait of the unintended civilian casualties of any war.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1568365314\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1568365314.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Higa, Tomiko|Britton, Dorothy\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
