The bombers' moon

This novel is set during World War II. Brother and sister Simeon and Ruth are living in China with their missionary parents. The year is 1942, and the Japanese are bombing parts of China. Ruth (who is telling the story) ande Simeon (her younger brother) are sent to an emergency school, as their normal school has been closed and the students and teachers have been put into concentration camps by the Japanese. As bomings increase, the children are sent to India. The story touches on poverty and racism. The sequel is Leaving point. I enjoyed both!
