Ever since eleven-year-old Danny Crane and his mom moved to Hawaii, he's longed to go back home. That's what is on his mind the morning of December 7, 1941, when America is attacked by Japan. Danny was raised on the mean streets of New York City, where gunshots were not uncommon. But this is different. With bombs pounding the harbor and machine-gun fire pelting the beaches, he'll need extraordinary luck—and courage—to survive!
