Under the Blood-Red Sun by Graham Salisbury
4.0
A perfect almost teen boy book, also enjoyed by dad. This is a perfect mix of sports and young male bravado with some important messages and themes thrown in. Some of the antagonists were fairly one dimensional and too true to the stereotype but it is a great story filled with love for family, horrible things wars bring and great friendships. Americas past actions are far from perfect and the internment of japanese-americans was one of the darker parts, this novel tries to show both sides good and bad without making too many strong judgements (until the afterword). My son is a reluctant reader, not only did he read this with his class willingly, he suggested we listen to it on a long vacation road trip. Recommended for any boys (or girls) 9-15
