Eleven year old Danny and his mother move to Hawaii to escape dangerous NYC . . .to find themselves living in an area targeted by the Japanese. Fast paced and exciting. Danny is a believable and a likable character. Will appeal to reluctant readers-especially boys.
More facts about Pearl Harbor and WW II are included in the back plus a list of books for kids about this subject. The author also has a time line of the events in the back.
Highly recommend.
Many more titles in this series by the same author.
Scholastic (the publisher) says this series will appeal to 2nd -4th graders but the reading level is 4th grade. I think advanced 2nd and 3rd graders could read it as well.
