"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Publish Date:March 20, 2012
Publisher's Description
Ichiro lives in New York City with his Japanese mother. His father, an American soldier, was killed in Iraq. Now, Ichi’s mom has decided they should move back to Japan to live with Ichi’s grandfather.
Grandfather becomes Ichi’s tour guide, taking him to temples as well as the Hiroshima Peace Park, where Ichi starts to question the nature of war. After a supernatural encounter with the gods and creatures of Japanese mythology, Ichi must face his fears if he is to get back home. In doing so, he learns about the nature of man, of gods, and of war. He also learns there are no easy answers—for gods or men.
* A supernatural story featuring Japanese mythology sound interesting to me. - Jessica

Never heard of this one. I love NY setting books though since I visited last year they always fascinate me now. I'm always going "OH! I was THERE!" haha

I understand why Houghton Mifflin published this. It's totally original. It sounds like a middle grade book which I don't normally read, but I am interested in this. A super fresh choice!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this book before, but it looks to be right up my alley! Thanks for featuring it!
ReplyDeleteWow, this one doesn't sound like anything I've heard of before. Sounds interesting!
