Summary:
Thirteen-year-old Yoko and her older brother and sister live in abject poverty in Japan at the end of World War II. When the clog factory warehouse they call home is destroyed by fire, their lives become even more desperate, particularly when Yoko's sister, Ko, is injured and must be hospitalized and her brother, Hideyo, is accused of murder. "Beautifully direct and emotionally honest."--Publishers Weekly, starred review.

My Brother, My Sister, and I
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This is the book about the story followed by "So far from Bamboo Grove." I recommend these books to everyone, who are interested in history, especially about WWII. There are always hidden stories behind wars. Not so many people can report what really happened.
A little girl could survive from the horrible war. She and her siblings lived strongly without their parents. No money, no food... I could not waste food after I had read this book.
We need to learn love and trust of this family.

The book praises Japanese invade US
Customer Rating:  Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1 Score = 1
The book insists that it was right that Japanese invaded United States.

An everyday yet new lesson taught
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
From this book My brother, My sister and I, I learnt quite a lot, though a lot of the dialogue seems to be cold and unnatural, the theme is the most important part of it. In this book the orphans Hideyo, Ko and Yoko squeeze through all the hard times and find new ways of over coming these things. In the end, the three of them find a special someone who may not look the same but is the same person, they live happily ever after (at least for now)

Possibly not fiction

I read this book several years ago and could hardly put it down until I finished it. I wrote to the publisher to ask if this book was fiction, but I got no reply. I had the impression in reading it that is was not fiction, and yet the words 'fictionalized' and 'novel' are used for it on Amazon. I was curious to know what is fiction in it and what is not.

I differ with some reviewers criticizing the book's language or style. There is nothing wrong with either, as I recall. Nor is the book only for children or "young readers" by any means.
