"Buckle up for Two Degrees, a Hollywood thriller
of a book." - The New York Times
A new book from Alan Gratz is a major publishing moment!
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Refugee and Ground
Zero now takes a meaningful look at the attack on Pearl Harbor.
December 6, 1941: Best friends Frank and Stanley pretty
much live in paradise.
Their dads are Navy officers stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii,
and the boys have a front-row view of the huge battleships and
the sparkling water.
But on December 7th, 1941, everything explodes.
Over the course of the day, as the boys fight to make their way
home, it's clear that everything has changed. Stanley's mother
is Japanese American and he is suddenly facing a terrible prejudice
that he's never known before - and Frank, who's white, cannot
begin to understand.
Can their friendship survive this watershed moment?
