"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?
