Summary: When my name was Keoko
Comments: "When we chose our new names, I pointed to the letter K. I went around whispering over and over, "Keoko. Kaneyama Keoko. Keoko." I could think about "Kaneyama Keoko" as a name however not as my name." When my name was Keoko makes reading enjoyable for kids8and above.
Linda Sue Park writes When my name was Keoko to help remind us what happened in Korea during WWII. She writes this book in2different points of view, Tae-yul's and Sun-hee's, a brother and sister. This book focuses on a their life in Korea when it was under Japan's occupation. Koreans are forced to do whatever the Japanese tell them to do. Seeing what the Japanese made the Koreans do like study Japanese at school and speak Japanese ewhere except at home made me realize how cruel some people can be.
This historical fiction novel is filled with adventure. It is an interesting way to learn about a point in history that not many people know about. Change my name, I do not think so!!

Summary: Great book for adults and teens
Comments: This is a beautiful and powerful book that e adolescent girl and boy should read. I especially loved the way Park weaves Keoko's coming-of-age story in a way that honored traditional Korean values. It would have been easy to use the story to disparage those values, an all too common technique these days. however Park resisted that urge and the result is a warm-hearted and endearing story that readers will not soon forget. |
