Fearing that twelve-year-old Rita would be forced to act as a \"comfort woman\" for the Japanese soldiers, the family launched a desperate plan to turn Rita into \"Rick,\" cutting her hair short and dressing her in boy’s clothes. Rita’s aptitude for languages earned her a position as translator for the commandant of the prisoner camp, and for the next three years she played a dangerous game of disguise while advocating against poor conditions, injustice, and torture. Sixty-five years later, Rita describes a war experience like no other — a remarkable tale of integrity, fortitude, and honor.\u003cbr\u003eBack matter includes a glossary.","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62270251893123,"sku":"9780763633295","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780763633295.jpg?v=1785515211","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/disguised-9780763633295","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
