- Under_the_Blood_Red_Sun abstract "Under the Blood Red Sun is a historical novel by Graham Salisbury, published in 1995. The movie version was released in 2014, with a screenplay by the author. It details the life of Tomi, a Japanese-American boy, and his family during World War II, when Americans of Japanese descent were being sent to internment camps. Tomi lives in Hawaii, and witnesses the attack on Pearl Harbor. The story centers on the racist persecution of Tomi's family by others, the government's suspicion of the Japanese, and the family's efforts to downplay their Japanese heritage. He is joined by his haole or white friend, Billy, when his father and grandfather are captured and brought to a prison camp. Their friend Sanji (age 19) is killed and Tomi's dad is shot in the leg. Tomikazu Nakaji is determined to be an American. This is not easy for though he was born in Hawaii, his parents and grandfather were not; they were born in Japan and they still cling to Japanese ways. In fact Tomi's grandfather still insists that he is \"Japanese\" and he and Tomi's parents still talk about the need to honor the family. Tomi must never do anything which would bring \"shame\" to the family.It is 1941 and though Tomi knows that war is raging in far away countries he does not think about it Instead he spends time with his best friend Billy and he plays baseball with his baseball team, a mixed group of boys who call themselves the Rats. Then, on December 7, 1941, Tomi's life is turned upside down. After the terrifying bombings of Pearl Harbor are over Tomi's fisherman father is taken into custody. Tomi knows that his family has to be as American as possible if they are to survive the anti-Japanese feelings that are swirling around them. Quickly they bury their Japanese mementoes in the garden and they quietly kill all their racer pigeons when the military tell them that the pigeons must be destroyed because they are a risk to security. Of course this is ridiculous but they comply, not wanting to draw attention to themselves. Tomi knows that he has to keep a close eye on his grandfather to make sure that the old man does not do anything foolish. Tomi comes to realize that he is now the head of the family and that he has to do all he can to help his mother provide for them all. Throughout this awful time Tomi has the Rats to help him. He knows that no matter what happens Billy and the others will stand by him. And, of course, there is always baseball.Awarded:2014 - Phoenix Award Honor Book 1999 - California Young Reader Medal1998 - Nene Award (Hawaii Young Reader's Choice)1998 - Utah Young Adult Book Award Nominee1998 - Rebecca Caudill Young Reader's Book Award Nominee1995 - Teachers Choice, International Reading Association1995 - YALSA - Best Books for Young Adults, American Library Association1995 - Library of Congress: Notable Children's Book of the Year1995 - Oregon Book Award1995 - The Family Channel Seal of Quality1995 - NY Public Library, Books for the Teen Age1994 - Parent's Choice Honor Award1994 - American Library Association, Best Book for Young Adults1994 - Booklist Editor's Choice1994 - Books in the Middle: Outstanding Book for the Middle School Reader".
