Summary:
This WWII
story of adventure seeking 11 year old Bird is sure to capture your
attention. Bird’s mechanic father teaches
her to fly, is her best friend, and really believes she can do anything. When he is sent overseas after the bombing of
Pearl Harbor, he leaves behind a young girl who is struggling to make sense of
things. A Japanese-American boy joins
Bird’s class and after a tense start, they become friends. Finding evidence of an enemy submarine in the
area, discovering a spy conspiracy, and having a murder and sabotage case at
the local plane-engine factory keep Bird and Kenji thinking and busy.
Review:
Be ready for a lot of action with this book. Not only is there planning and plotting,
there is also conflict between characters.
It is not a predictable story line, and I couldn’t put this book down!
