First Sentence

"When Daddy tapped his fork on his water glass last night and announced (in his usual, upbeat fashion) that he had "exciting news for the entire Billows family" (he always refers to us as "the Billows family," as if we were one of his favorite radio shows), everyone knew what was coming next."

Work Description

Amber's journal chronicles two months that change her life forever. In late 1941 her family moves to Hawaii, landing in 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 to simply go on.
