A Boy at War
A boy at war by Harry Mazer is about a boy named Adam who was raised in the military. He has just moved to Hawaii, on the island of Oahu near Honolulu. On his first day of school Adam meets a friend named Davi. One day Davi invited Adam to play football with him and his friends and, Adam makes another friend named Martin. One day Adam and his friends decide to break into Pearl Harbor and go fishing. But then all of a sudden Japanese planes start flying over them and start attacking the U.S. Navy. as the planes attack he sees his dad's ship the Arizona sink below the water. Over the next few days, Adam starts looking for answers about his friends, the war, and most importantly his dad. But Adam learns that sometimes there are no answers.
I liked this book because it was interesting and mysterious. It was interesting because, Adam had to find out whether his friends were with him or against him, whether his father was dead or not, and why the Japanese were attacking the Navy. It's actually really confusing, but it is a good book. It's small, interesting, and it is mysterious. that is why i liked this book.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes interesting books or army books. It is a very good book, confusing but very interesting. You would be crazy not to read this book. It's cool how you can make questions in your head and guess what's going to happen next. For example there was a part in the book when Adam, Davi, and Martin went into Pearl Harbor and went fishing, and the Japanese planes flew over and Davi pushed Adam off the boat and you think to yourself, is Davi with him or not. That's what is fun about this book. So read it, you'll love it.
