This week on the Butler Bookshelf, we’re transported back to World War II with Kiku Hughes’ latest graphic novel. In Displacement, a contemporary teenager finds herself pulled back in time to the Japanese-American internment camp her grandmother was forcibly relocated to. The time travels keep recurring until she becomes stuck in the past, learning about a history she was never taught in school. For more great reads, check out the list below!
