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?
