The Gratz stans will love it. As always, it’s fast-paced, action-packed, and full of nuance. The thing I appreciate most about Gratz books is that they always consider a perspective beyond the ones usually centered in these types of stories, which I think is especially important for the kids drawn to them.

Solid perspective about Pearl Harbor for kids. I loved the main characters and know kids would relate to them while learning about Pearl Harbor.
