Book Description
Gail Tsukiyama's The Street of a Thousand Blossoms is a powerfully moving masterpiece about tradition and change, loss and renewal, and love and family from a glorious storyteller at the height of her powers. It is Tokyo in 1939. On the Street of a Thousand Blossoms, two orphaned brothers dream of a future firmly rooted in tradition. The older boy, Hiroshi, shows early signs of promise at the national obsession of sumo wrestling, while Kenji is fascinated by the art of Noh theater masks. But as the ripples of war spread to their quiet neighborhood, the brothers must put their dreams on hold—and forge their own paths in a new Japan. Meanwhile, the two young daughters of a renowned sumo master find their lives increasingly intertwined with the fortunes of their father's star pupil, Hiroshi.

Book Description
Alone in his bedroom, Johnny McGuire turned on his small transistor radio. In the few weeks that he and his parents had been in Pasadena Johnny had made few acquaintances and no friends; in his lonesome little life the radio had opened the door to a magnificent new world. People played music for him to listen to and they told him, play-by-play, what was happen­ing in the big league games. Seated on the edge of the bed, he clutched the little set in both hands. This radio had been the only gift that could be afforded for his ninth birthday and already Johnny McGuire seemed old enough to under­stand why. He knew that life wasn't always fair, that there was little money to spend, that some­times his father was angry, often afraid. This is the story, as only John Ball could tell it, of what happens when an older, bigger boy steals Johnny's proudest possession and Johnny sets out to even the score using his father's .38 Colt revolver. Told against the scene of black-white conflict in Pasadena, between poor whites and black militants, between rich whites and poor whites, and the highly topical and urgent problem of gun control, Johnny Get Your Gun is first-rate suspense. It is the chilling story of Johnny's adventures with his gun and of a murder and how the murder is solved by John Ball's cool, brilliant black homicide detective Virgil Tibbs. hero of In the Heat of the Night and The Cool Cottontail. There are riots, brutalities, an action-packed chase through Disneyland, and a heart­warming and heartbreaking scene at the end of the book in the baseball park of the California Angels. Perhaps the most important issue, described with sincerity and sensitivity by John Bad, is the terror and confusion in the mind of a nine-year-old boy—frightened, alone, hurt by the hatred around him, a fugitive from justice. Johnny Get Your Gun touches on some of the most urgent problems facing America today, and is told by one of America's most accom­plished storytellers. John Ball is the author of Miss One Thousand Spring Blossoms, hailed by the Chicago Tribune as "a very funny and tender story of what happens when East meets West," as well as author of In the Heat of the Night, made into a screenplay which won the Academy Award for best picture of 1967.
