| Title: A Boy at War: a
Novel of Pearl Harbor |
| Author: Harry Mazer |
Reviewer:
Matt S. '10
The name of the book I read is called A Boy At
War by Harry Mazer. This book is a novel about the bombing of
Pearl Harbor by the Japanese during World War II. The story settles
around a young boy named Adam whose father is in the Navy. One day
Adam is fishing with some friends in a lake near Pearl Harbor in
Hawaii. Suddenly, he sees planes flying over him toward the Navy
base. In front of his eyes he sees his father’s
ship get bombed along with many others.
If you read this book you will find out what
happens to Adam and his father along with reading about how people
reacted to the bombings. I really love this book. I like it because
I learned a lot about Pearl Harbor that I did not know before. Also,
I enjoy reading stories about kids my own age and I thinkt this book
has great description. I would recommend it to everyone, especially
people who don’t know much about Pearl Harbor and would like to learn.
