A review by eefera
Under the Blood-Red Sun by Graham Salisbury
5.0
I really enjoyed the motley crew aspect of this story. Tomi and his friends have such distinct roles within the group and they are all well developed personalities, which is as important in a middle grade fiction as it is in any adult works.
A lot of books written by adults from the perspective of children still tend to feel like they are written by an adult. This book I found refreshing because Tomi's voice as a protagonist was very age appropriate and felt authentic.
This quickly became one of my favorite middle grade historical fiction novels I've read. I have an interest in WWII history in general, specifically Pearl Harbor, and this was a point of view that I really appreciated.
