About
A new book from Alan Gratz is a major publishing moment!
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Refugee and Ground Zero now takes a meaningful look at the attack on Pearl Harbor.
December 6, 1941: Best friends Frank and Stanley pretty much live in paradise.
Their dads are Navy officers stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and the boys have a front-row view of the huge battleships and the sparkling water.
But on December 7th, 1941, everything explodes.
Over the course of the day, as the boys fight to make their way home, it's clear that everything has changed. Stanley's mother is Japanese American and he is suddenly facing a terrible prejudice that he's never known before - and Frank, who's white, cannot begin to understand.
Can their friendship survive this watershed moment?
