Description: Heroes by Alan Gratz December 6, 1941: Best friends Frank and Stanley have it good. Their dads are Navy pilots stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and the boys get a front-row view of the huge battleships and the sparkling water. Yes, World War II is raging in Europe and in Asia, but the US isnt involved in the war and the boys are free to dream about becoming comic book creators. Theyve even invented a superhero of their own, in the style of Batman, Superman, Captain America and other stars of the Golden Age of Comics. Maybe theyll even get their comic published someday. December 7th, 1941: Everything explodes. That morning, Frank and Stanley are aboard the battleship the USS Utah when Japanese planes zoom overhead and begin dropping bombs on the ships below. Chaos ensues as everyone scrambles to dive for safety. Frank and Stanley realise whats happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them. As the boys fight to make their way home amidst the carnage, its clear that everything has changed. Stanleys mother is Japanese-American and he is suddenly facing a terrible prejudice that hes never known before – hes now seen as the "enemy," and Frank, whos white, cannot begin to understand what Stanley will now face. Can their friendship – and their dreams – survive this watershed moment in history?
