I'm enjoying this series -- packs a lot of punch for a short book, illuminates a time and place in a way that's very appealing and accessible for kids, and consistently good characters. I haven't seen a lot about the experience of Japanese Americans in Hawaii after Pearl Harbor, so that is a feature. It seems like there were fewer wholesale interments than on the mainland, but the community still lost fathers, friends, leaders to the Sand Island Camp and were subject to racist remarks, confiscation of goods and other deprivations. This book has a good balance of family support and disaster conditions. Alice is an engaging character. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

In 1941, thirteen-year-old Alice's days are filled with swimming in the Hawaiian sea, going to school, and helping watch her younger siblings. But on December 7, everything changes when she experiences an act of war, the bombing of Pearl Harbor. As the United States enters World War II, Alice's father is sent to a Japanese internment camp, leaving Alice and the rest of her family struggling to adjust to life without him. Featuring nonfiction support material, a glossary, and reader response questions, this Girls Survive story takes readers to one of history's most important moments.
