Overview: ppIn 1841, a Japanese fishing vessel sinks. Its crew is forced to swim to a small, unknown island, where they are rescued by a passing American ship. Japan#8217;s borders remain closed to all Western nations, so the crew sets off to America, learning English on the way.p#160;pManjiro, a fourteen-year-old boy, is curious and eager to learn everything he can about this new culture. Eventually the captain adopts Manjiro and takes him to his home in New England. The boy lives for some time in New England, and then heads to San Francisco to pan for gold. After many years, he makes it back to Japan, only to be imprisoned as an outsider. With his hard-won knowledge of the West, Manjiro is in a unique position to persuade the shogun to ease open the boundaries around Japan; he may even achieve his unlikely dream of becoming a samurai.pB*STARRED#160;review from IBooklist/I*BR/BpManjiro is 14 when a freak storm washes him and his four fishing companions onto a tiny island far from their Japanese homeland. Shortly before starving, they are rescued by an American whaling ship. But it#8217;s 1841 and distrust is rampant#58; the Japanese consider the whalers #8220;barbarians,#8221; while the whalers think of the Japanese as #8220;godless cannibals.#8221; Captain William Whitfield is different#8212;childless, he forges a bond with the boy, and when it comes time for Manjiro to choose between staying with his countrymen or going to America as Whitfield#8217;s son, he picks the path of adventure. It#8217;s a classic fish-out-of-water story (although this fish goes into the water repeatedly), and it#8217;s precisely this classic structure that gives the novel the sturdy bones of a timeless tale. Backeted by gritty seafaring episodes#8212;salty and bloody enough to assure us that Preus has done her research#8212;the book#8217;s heart is its middle section, in which Manjiro, allegedly the first Japanese to set foot in America, deals with the prejudice and promise of a new world. By Japanese tradition, Manjiro was destined to be no more than a humble fisherman, but when his 10-year saga ends, he has become so much more. Wonderful back matter helps flesh out this fictionalized companion to the same true story told in Rhoda Blumberg#8217;s Shipwrecked! The True Adventures of a Japanese Boy (2001).pI#8212; Daniel Krausp/IB*STARRED review from IKirkus Reviews/I*BR/BIn 1841, 14-year-old Manjiro joined four others on an overnight fishing trip. Caught by a severe storm, their small rowboat was shipwrecked on a rocky island. Five months later, they were rescued by the crew of a whaling ship from New Bedford. Manjiro, renamed John Mung, was befriended by the captain and eventually lived in his home in New Bedford, rapidly absorbing Western culture. But the plight of his impoverished family in Japan was never far from Manjiro#8217;s mind, although he knew that his country#8217;s strict isolationist policy meant a death sentence if he returned. BIllustrated with Manjiro#8217;s own pencil drawings in addition to other archival material and original art from Tamaki, this is a captivating fictionalized (although notably faithful) retelling of the boy#8217;s adventures./B BCapturing his wonder, remarkable willingness to learn, the prejudice he encountered and the way he eventually influenced officials in Japan to open the country, this highly entertaining page-turner/B is the perfect companion to Shipwrecked! The True Adventures of a Japanese Boy, by Rhoda Blumberg (2001). (historical note, extensive glossary, bibliography.) (Historical fiction. 9-13)p
