Displacement is a YA graphic novel with some magical realism aspects. Both the illustrations and writing help the reader learn about the 1940s Japanese-American internment camps, a forced relocation that is not fully taught in US History. It is a relatively quick read but is also probably one of the most important books I have read so far this year. I learned a lot from this title and I hope that more readers will choose to pick up Displacement because it is such a unique and necessary piece of literature.
