Acclaimed author Barry Dennenberg has written a moving story of one girl's devasting experience at Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941. Amber's journal chronicles two months that change her life forever. In late 1941 her family moves to Hawai'i, where they end up at the epicenter of the attack that plunged the United States into World War II. As she watches her world literally explode in flames, Amber demonstrates that in the face of tragedy, kids can find the courage to help and simply go on.
