Description
Grenade by Alan Gratz is a heart-pounding story of war and survival. In 1945, Hideki lives with his family on Okinawa, near Japan, but when the Second World War reaches his shores, he's drafted to fight for the Japanese army. His mission is to kill an American soldier, but instead, he meets Ray, a young Marine who's just landed on the island. As they clash in the middle of the battle, Hideki and Ray must survive heart-pounding ambushes and deadly traps. Their choices in that single instant will change everything. This intense and fast-paced novel portrays war honestly, shedding light on a rarely mentioned battle in books for juvenile readers. A chilling and realistic depiction of war, Grenade is a compelling story that explores the emotional consequences of conflict. With its dark and ultimately heartening tone, this book is an excellent choice for those interested in historical fiction and wartime stories.
