Jeffrey's Book Report

Beacon Hill Boys by Ken Mochizuki 




The book is about a Asian boy in Seattle named Dan trying to find his identity in the world. He is trying to not be like his perfect brother in life and does not want to be known as the Asian in class. Dan and his friends are all trying to be their own person and not be invisible in school. They all are trying to find themselves in different ways. When Dan is looking into the past and the internment camps that his parents were in, his parents will not talk about the camps at all. Dan's dad's motto is "The nail that sticks out the highest will get hit the hardest." Dan does not want to sit back and take it from everyone. He wants to go out and become his own person.
