Mayumi Shimose Poe

Alice ska gå och handla när bomberna plötsligt börjar falla. Livrädd rusar hon gatan fram. Hon chockas av att se en blodig kvinna och ett livlöst litet barn. Japanerna bara fortsätter attackera ön. Alice förstår ingenting. Varför anfaller de Hawaii och Pearl Harbor? ÖVERLEVARNA är en serie om verkliga historiska händelser. Hur överlever man en allvarlig kris och hur klarar man av det som händer efteråt? Denna spännande bok är en bra grund för diskussioner om andra världskriget och tankar om nationalitet. Vem bestämmer om man är japan eller amerikan? Och vad spelar det för roll? Hegas böcker – lätta att läsa. Svåra att motstå.
