Award winner author Graham Salisbury has written another page turner.

THE HOUSE OF THE RED FISH pulses with energy, enthralling images, captivating
narrative and most of all, empathy for the downtrodden.

THE HOUSE OF THE RED FISH is the house of Tomi, his little sister, Grand’pa
Joji, his mom and dad. A flying red paper Fish on top of the house is a Japanese
emblem for a happy family in times of peace. They live on the property of the
Davis family, home also to Keen who is a bully. Keen also hates Tomi and his
family because they are Japanese.

The narrative takes place in Hawaii just before and after Pearl Harbour, when
Japanese-Americans were perceived as the enemy.

After his dad and grand’pa Joji were incarcerated as prisoners of war, Tomi has
one goal and that is to retrieve his fisherman father’s sampan that was sunk
because it was Japanese. A great deal of imagination and creativity must be used
in order to bring it back to the surface. Without doubt, Keen will find ways to
stop him from reaching his goal. Surprisingly, grand-pa Joji returns, as he was
saved by Mrs. Davis and he secretly guides his grandson on how to save the
sampan for Keen’s dad, whom he hopes will soon be out of the concentration camps
that were built for Japanese-Americans.

Tomi, his little sister and all his friends show a sense of camaraderie that one
can really feel in Hawaii. In fact, Graham Salisbury’s family has lived in
Hawaii since the 1800 which makes him well versed in the lingo and the sense of
friendship that exists among them.

THE HOUSE OF THE RED FISH conveys a message of understanding the perceived enemy
in times of war. He also conveys a sense of pride in one’s heritage.

The author’s style is entertaining and endearing. We get to root for the good
guys and boo for the bullies. Dialogue is fast and witty. Characters are so true
to life that you will find yourself cheering for the winners.

Graham Salisbury’s foray into a delicate subject is highly recommended.
