Summary
A new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Alan Gratz （ Refugee ; Ground Zero ; Two Degrees ） is a major publishing moment。 A new World War II novel from Alan Gratz？ That's even bigger！ Get ready for an action-packed， inventive， and powerful take on the attack on Pearl Harbor， as only Alan Gratz can tell it。 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。 They've 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 they'll 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 realize what's 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？ Told with the immediacy， high-stakes action， and meaningful twists that have made Alan Gratz one of today's biggest authors， this gripping novel tackles themes of bravery， prejudice， and what it means to stand up for what's right。 Just as Gratz's Ground Zero became a defining look at 9/11 for middle-grade readers， this book delivers a necessary and unputdownable take on a date that still lives in infamy。 The book ends with an all-original， 10-page black & white comic that brings to life the comic book idea that Frank and Stanley brainstorm in the novel。 The comic is written by Alan Gratz and illustrated by Judit Tondora。

A great balance of action and emotion in this book about the attack on Pearl Harbor。 The comic book-loving duo witnesses the attack from a fighter boat and they have a daring escape and then go on to help others。 It defies the imagination of an adult reader， but the target age group will love how the boys are able to be heroic。 Gratz did not shy away from addressing the issue of Japanese-Americans and their war experience and this makes for an all-around balanced read with plenty of experiences A great balance of action and emotion in this book about the attack on Pearl Harbor。 The comic book-loving duo witnesses the attack from a fighter boat and they have a daring escape and then go on to help others。 It defies the imagination of an adult reader， but the target age group will love how the boys are able to be heroic。 Gratz did not shy away from addressing the issue of Japanese-Americans and their war experience and this makes for an all-around balanced read with plenty of experiences a reader today might find relevant。Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book。 I know my 11 year old grandson will eat it up！ 。。。more

Heroes was the third and my favorite book of Alan Gratz that I have read。 Like his other books， the danger and the reality of the experiences that Gratz is writing about evoke so much emotion that I can't help but get so sucked into the book。 I love how his writing causes the reader to reflect on issues。 I have never studied the events of Pearl Harbor in depth， but I knew the basics and it was so intense to feel like I was there living the moments with these boys in the story。 It was scary and i Heroes was the third and my favorite book of Alan Gratz that I have read。 Like his other books， the danger and the reality of the experiences that Gratz is writing about evoke so much emotion that I can't help but get so sucked into the book。 I love how his writing causes the reader to reflect on issues。 I have never studied the events of Pearl Harbor in depth， but I knew the basics and it was so intense to feel like I was there living the moments with these boys in the story。 It was scary and intense and though emotional， wonderful to read。 I really like how Gratz took two issues that could still be experienced by youth today and made them a part of the story， I don't want to say specfically what they are to avoid spoilers， but I felt that the way it was done can cause connections for youth reading the book or lessons to see what it is like for someone who lives those trials to help the reader become a more compassionate person。 I look forward to reading and sharing with my kids even more by Gratz。 。。。more

Action packed from the very beginning！ Kids will learn much about this horrific event in our American history through this middle grade novel。 Gratz diverted from his paralleled two-three storyline approach in most of his other novels， and just kept to this single storyline。 Because of that， I felt like the book was somewhat rushed and incomplete。 Yes， it would have made the book longer， but it would have been so interesting to see what he would have done by weaving storylines together。 I love t Action packed from the very beginning！ Kids will learn much about this horrific event in our American history through this middle grade novel。 Gratz diverted from his paralleled two-three storyline approach in most of his other novels， and just kept to this single storyline。 Because of that， I felt like the book was somewhat rushed and incomplete。 Yes， it would have made the book longer， but it would have been so interesting to see what he would have done by weaving storylines together。 I love that characteristic about Gratz’s writing and I hope he returns to it。 。。。more

I dearly love Alan Gratz and his books。 This one is no different。 He manages to take a horrific event in American history and make it accessible to middle grade students。 There are very little books about Pearl Harbor for middle grade students。 This will be a welcome addition to my classroom library。 Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for allowing me to read this wonderful story！

I love this book。 It was sad to think about how the Japanese Americans（Americans of Japanese Ancestry）were dislike so bad after the attack on Pearl Harbor， I wish it was different。 I love how this book is very suspenseful。 I would recommend it to any history lover。

One point of view。 I appreciated the themes of standing up for what’s right and fear。 I also appreciated the inclusion of how the attack affected the way Americans of Japanese ancestry were targeted and mistreated。

It's hard for Alan Gratz to live up to the success of Refugee， and this story only earned 3。5 stars from me。 Similar to Ground Zero， it was hard for me to believe that our protagonists would survive as many obstacles as they did， and it felt like Gratz used a fast pace to distract readers from this disbelief。 MG readers will like the comic book references but will not understand some of the other references like "Real McCoy。" It's hard for Alan Gratz to live up to the success of Refugee， and this story only earned 3。5 stars from me。 Similar to Ground Zero， it was hard for me to believe that our protagonists would survive as many obstacles as they did， and it felt like Gratz used a fast pace to distract readers from this disbelief。 MG readers will like the comic book references but will not understand some of the other references like "Real McCoy。" 。。。more

The latest from Alan Gratz is an ideal addition to my middle school library。 The story is fast-paced， culturally sensitive， and brings younger readers into the realities of historical events。 Many a reader has become a World War II buff after reading an Alan Gratz work and this one is no exception。

As a mom， I really enjoyed reading this book aloud to my 12-year-old。 I didn’t know much beyond the basics about Pear Harbor prior to reading， but liked learning more about it through the book。 I liked the main character， a boy named Frank who deals with intense anxiety surrounding getting hurt， and his best friend Stanley， a Japanese-American who wants to be a comic book illustrator。 There is lots of conflict in this book， from the man-versus-man conflict of the attack itself， plus the man-vers As a mom， I really enjoyed reading this book aloud to my 12-year-old。 I didn’t know much beyond the basics about Pear Harbor prior to reading， but liked learning more about it through the book。 I liked the main character， a boy named Frank who deals with intense anxiety surrounding getting hurt， and his best friend Stanley， a Japanese-American who wants to be a comic book illustrator。 There is lots of conflict in this book， from the man-versus-man conflict of the attack itself， plus the man-versus-himself conflict as Frank works to overcome his fear in order to help in a time of crisis。 Most of the book was fairly believable， except for an odd scene featuring a giant eel that just seemed silly in comparison to the previously heightened suspense of the scene leading up to that point。 I look forward to seeing the comic book sections of the book in the physical copy。 It wasn’t formatted right in my review copy。 My son liked the story as well。 Many chapters end in cliffhangers and he would often ask for one more chapter most nights。 。。。more

ARC provided by NetGalley。 Alan Gratz is probably the most popular historical fiction author with my 5th and 6th students。 This time is he writing about Pearl Harbor。 I like the focus on a one day event。 Heroes was shorter than most of his other books。 The characters were OK and the action kept the story moving。 Overall the book felt a little rushed to me。 That be said， Gratz is still the man。 Kids can’t wait for this book and it will be read by and enjoyed by many students。

Alan Gratz does it again。 I always suggest his books to my struggling readers and my reluctant ones。 Gratz is good at bringing likeable characters into historical settings。 This one takes place around the devastating events at Pearl Harbor in 1941。 Our two main characters find themselves in the middle of the Japanese attack that early morning， December 7， 1941。 So much detail and things I hadn't even thought of for that historical attack。 A must-read for Gratz fans。 Alan Gratz does it again。 I always suggest his books to my struggling readers and my reluctant ones。 Gratz is good at bringing likeable characters into historical settings。 This one takes place around the devastating events at Pearl Harbor in 1941。 Our two main characters find themselves in the middle of the Japanese attack that early morning， December 7， 1941。 So much detail and things I hadn't even thought of for that historical attack。 A must-read for Gratz fans。 。。。more
