Missing in Action Audiobook (Free)

Dirty. Lazy. Good-for-nothing. Jay Thacker is used to getting called names because his dad is half Navajo. But issues will vary after he and his mother move to a little city in Utah to stay along with his grandparents during WWII. Jay makes friends and earns money working the areas for his well-respected grandfather-but he encounters a problem in Ken, a fellow worker who’s through the close by Japanese internment camp. Ken’s a Jap. And Jay’s father, who’s been fighting for the navy out in the Pacific, is certainly missing in action. This moving story about an unlikely camaraderie deftly addresses styles of prejudice and intolerance, offering readers a glimpse of days gone by that enlightens the present.
