[CALIBK12] Book help needed

[Millam, Joy]

Oh Collective Brain-- 
Please impart your wisdom upon me...  A student came in this morning and said that he had seen a documentary on the Japanese internment camps and that there was a book he thought it might be called Reflections by a George T. Timura (spelling is quite questionable).  Any ideas on what this might be called?  He's not a huge reader, so it is quite cool that he saw something and followed through with a query.  
Thanks.

In terms of post-apocalyptic themes, of books about societies that are created after ours is somehow destroyed, or about survival....

Our middle school students are reading Susan Beth Pfeffe¹s books ³Life as we
knew it² and ³The Dead and the gone². Can anyone suggest books at that level
with a similar theme?

Thanks
