A terrifying attack!

Reviews

Goodreads review by R. on January 19, 2018

A successful story telling of Pearl Harbor at a 3rd to 7th grade level (Lexile 800) in such a way that it encourages young readers to enjoy a non-fiction history book. Though not a Hi-Lo book per se, I'd also recommend this book for those looking for something on WWII/History for a reluctant reader.......more
