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
