My book Boy at War matters because it gives a first hand account on what happened December 7, 1941. I think the most valuable idea from my book is keep your family close because Adam's dad who was on the USS Arizona went missing, and his mom and younger sister were worried sick at home. Adam survived but barely he could have easily been killed and never seen his family again. My book is a part of a trilogy this book ends with his after missing and his family wanting to move back to the mainland but they stay in Honolulu. My message is still valuable today because family is the best thing you have and you don't want to lose it.

My book is about Pearl Harbor, since the end of WWII they (Japan and The United States) have made up and became allies. I believe that after the US used their nuclear bombs Japan realized the power of the US. After Japan lost the war the US helped with social, political, economic, and military reforms to help rehabilitate Japan. I think the end of WWII was a turning point for everyone because they all took damage in different forms, but the Japanese recognized the power and the US and wanted to be with us instead of against us.
My book connects to pearl harbor directly because it is told from the view of a boy who witnessed it in Hawaii. Adam is the main character in the book, his dad is in the navy and recently got stationed in Pearl Harbor. He tells his story about moving to Hawaii and what it is like living there. He knew war with Japan was possible but they had no clue what would happen in the coming days. Adam and two of his friends are fishing in a little boat in the harbor the morning of the attack, he watches the boat (The USS Arizona) sink which his father is on at the time.
