(2) YA Fourteen-year-old Adam's friendship with Japanese-American Davi is a problem for Adam's father, a naval officer stationed in Hawaii. Adam bristles at being told who his friends can be; early on December 7, 1941, he sneaks out to go fishing with Davi in Pearl Harbor. And that's where they are when the Japanese begin bombing. Mazer brings readers face to face with the tragedy of war in a gripping novel.
