This light between us : a novel of World War II / Andrew Fukuda.

Fukuda, Andrew Xia, (author.).

Summary:

It is 1935. Ten-year-old Alex Maki, from Bainbridge Island, just off the coast of Washington State, is disgusted when he's forced to become pen pals with Charlie Levy of Paris, France - a girl. But in spite of Alex's reluctance, their letters continue to fly across the Atlantic, along with the shared hopes and dreams of friendship. Six years later, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the growing Nazi persecution of Jews force both Alex and Charlie to confront the darkest aspects of human nature. From the desolation of an internment camp on the plains of Manzanar to the horrors of Auschwitz and the devastation of the European battlefields, the only things they can hold on to are the memories of their letters. And nothing can dispel the light between them.
