With their dads stationed at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii, the boys get to soak up the sunshine while writing and drawing their own comic books. World War II might be raging overseas, but so far America has stayed out of the fight. There&#8217;s nothing to fear, right?<\/p>\n<p>December 7th, 1941: Everything implodes.<\/p>\n<p>Frank and Stanley are touring a battleship when Japanese planes zoom overhead, dropping bomb after bomb. As explosions roar and sailors scream, Frank and Stanley realize the unthinkable is happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them.<\/p>\n<p>Frantically, the boys struggle to find safety. But disaster and danger are everywhere&#8211;from torpedoes underwater to bullets on the beach&#8230; to the shocking cruelty that their friends and neighbors show Stanley. Because his mom is Japanese-American, Stanley is suddenly seen as the &#8220;enemy.&#8221; And Frank, who is white, cannot begin to understand what his friend is now facing.<\/p>\n<p>If the boys make it through this infamous day, can their friendship&#8211;and their dreams&#8211;survive? Or has everything they know been destroyed?<\/p>\n<p>Told with the immediacy, high-stakes action, and inventive storytelling that make Alan Gratz (Refugee,Ground Zero) one of today&#8217;s biggest authors, this riveting look at the attack on Pearl Harbor explores themes of prejudice, power, and what it truly means to be a hero.<\/p>\n<p>Plus: The book ends with an all-original, 10-page black &amp; white comic that brings to life the comic book idea that Frank and Stanley brainstorm in the novel. The comic is written by Alan Gratz and illustrated by Judit Tondora.<\/p>\n<p> <br \/>\n         From the Publisher            <\/p>\n<p>                                          <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Alan Gratz\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/d69be984-6121-4577-8bad-b7819d9df14d.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Alan Gratz\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/d69be984-6121-4577-8bad-b7819d9df14d.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">   <\/p>\n<p>                                          <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dynamic duo Alan Gratz and Brent Schoonover reimagine Captain America\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/G\/01\/x-locale\/common\/grey-pixel.gif\" class=\"a-lazy-loaded\" data-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/c3b4ffa1-75ec-4a60-84fd-324fac142c31.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dynamic duo Alan Gratz and Brent Schoonover reimagine Captain America\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/aplus-media-library-service-media\/c3b4ffa1-75ec-4a60-84fd-324fac142c31.__CR0,0,970,300_PT0_SX970_V1___.jpg\">   <\/p>\n<p>                         Add to Cart  <\/p>\n<p>                         Add to Cart  <\/p>\n<p>                         Add to Cart  <\/p>\n<p>                         Add to Cart  <\/p>\n<p>                         Add to Cart  <\/p>\n<p>                         Add to Cart  <\/p>\n<p>                             Customer Reviews  <\/p>\n<p>                    4.4 out of 5 stars <\/p>\n<p>                        435 <\/p>\n<p>                    4.6 out of 5 stars <\/p>\n<p>                        298 <\/p>\n<p>                    4.7 out of 5 stars <\/p>\n<p>                        714 <\/p>\n<p>                    4.8 out of 5 stars <\/p>\n<p>                        3,470 <\/p>\n<p>                    4.7 out of 5 stars <\/p>\n<p>                        4,019 <\/p>\n<p>                    4.7 out of 5 stars <\/p>\n<p>                        407 <\/p>\n<p>                             Price  <\/p>\n<p>                                    $14.98$14.98                  $7.28$7.28                  $11.30$11.30                  $11.05$11.05                  $7.59$7.59                  $10.99$10.99        <\/p>\n<p>                             For Alan Gratz Readers<br \/>\n                                Bestselling author Alice Hoffman delivers a stunning novel about one of contemporary history&#8217;s most acclaimed figures, exploring the little-known details of Anne Frank&#8217;s life before she went into hiding.
