A Boy at War: A Novel of Pearl Harbor
by Harry Mazel
On a quiet Sunday morning, while Adam and his friends are fishing near Honolulu, a surprise attack by Japanese bombers destroys the fleet at Pearl Harbor. Even as Adam struggles to survive the sudden chaos all around him, and as his friends endure the brunt of the attack, a greater concern hangs over his head; Adam's father, a navy lieutenant, was stationed on the USS Arizona when the bombs fell. During the subsequent days Adam - not yet a man, but no longer a boy - is caught up in the war as he desperately tries to make sense of what happened to his friends and to find news of his father. Reading level ages 10-14. Soft cover. 104 pages.
