DESCRIPTION:

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 isn't involved in the war and the boys are free to dream about becoming comic book creators. 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. Frank and Stanley realise what's happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them. As the boys fight to make their way home amidst the carnage, 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 – he's now seen as the "enemy," and Frank, who's white, cannot begin to understand what Stanley will now face. Can their friendship – and their dreams – survive this watershed moment in history?
