In 1941, eleven-year-old Macy James lives with her father, the director of a small museum.
Miss Tokyo, one of fifty-eight exquisite friendship dolls given to America by Japan in 1926, is part of the museum’s collection and one of Macy’s most treasured connections to her mother.
When the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, many of Macy’s neighbors demand that Miss Tokyo be destroyed, and Macy starts having doubts. Does remaining loyal to Miss Tokyo mean being disloyal to America? Shirley Parenteau delivers another thoughtful historical novel inspired by a little-known true event.
- All three books in the Friendship Dolls Books series are now available in paperback.
- In the third book in the Friendship Dolls Book series, the story of the Friendship Doll Exchange is brought forward to WWII, when many of the exquisite dolls given to America by the Japanese were destroyed or lost.
- Just as the doll Emily Grace was the link between the first two novels, Miss Tokyo is the link between this story and the one before. She is the same Japanese doll for whom Chiyo Tamura, the protagonist of Dolls of Hope, was the model.
