 Emi is moving.  She and her family are forced to go and live in an internment camp because they are Japanese-American and America was at war with Japan.  Emi’s sole consolation upon leaving is a going-away gift from her best friend, Laurie.  It is a gold heart bracelet that Emi promises to never take off.  However, this symbol of friendship falls off the very first day.  How will Emi remember Laurie now?  (Mary Hamilton, mary.miguel@att.net, teacher)
