"Beacon Hill Boys" by Ken Mochizuki tells the poignant story of two Japanese American boys, Matt and his friend, who are navigating their teenage years in Seattle during the 1970s.

The narrative captures the essence of growing up in a multicultural environment, highlighting themes of belonging and self-discovery. Through their experiences, the boys learn about the importance of family, resilience, and the enduring bonds of friendship amidst life's complexities.
