About this ebook
Have you ever wondered how the local people behaved during the bombing of Pearl Harbor? This is a true story about 2 young boys growing up in the midst of military movements and battles on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Gordon and Stafford's parents move from the East Coast to the Islands and get placed in a location directly under the path of the Japanese Bombers that attached Pearl Harbor. The brothers grow up in the "up country" of the island amid superstition, juvenile detention housing, and military takeovers.
