Then Junie’s history teacher assigns a project and Junie decides to interview her grandparents she learns about their unbelievable experiences as kids during the Korean War. But when racist graffiti appears at her middle school and her friends want to do something about it, they just can’t understand why Junie wants to stay out of it. So she keeps her head down and tries not to draw attention to herself. Junie Kim just wants to fit in and stay out of the way of her bullies who make fun of her for being Asian. Just labelling Finding Junie Kim historical fiction would be oversimplifying this wonderful piece of fiction completely. While it is historical fiction it has elements of biography in it too.
While I can never fully understand I can see how the issues thread through history and how things to come back around. The Ellen Oh noted how personal it was for her to write this book. This was a very impactful book it was written about the Trump era and it was written about communist history in the 1950’s in Korea.
