I Survived The Bombing of Pearl Harbor, 1941 by Lauren Tarshis is HF novel. It is one of the famous I Survived series. The story is about a young boy who is at a beach in Hawaii when the attack on Pearl Harbor happens. The way attack is described grabs the attention of young readers.Visuals are very impressive. Great for both LC and IR.

Danny Crane is an 11 year old living in New York City with his mom in 1941. After his best friend falls from a fire escape after their latest round of mischief- Danny and his mom move to Hawaii to get away from the dangers of NY. Little did they know they would be living through one of the biggest tragedies America has ever seen. This HF is hair-raising look at the Attack at Pearl Harbor in the perspective of a boy discovering who he wants to be.

JordanD www.nationalgeographic.com/pearlharbor suggested by the Author, a wonderful resource that even includes a time sensitive breakdown of the events of Dec. 7 1941. I would utilize EL 26 and UDL 4.2 using information provided by Lauren Tarshis at the end of the book. Excellent choice for LC 7y

AJones I agree, this F book about Pearl Harbor would work nicely in a LC. I like how you included a link (National Geographic)with real information, which enhances your book choice. You could include NF literature with primary sources that describe what lead to the war between the U.S. and Japan. This could easily turn into a unit. Thanks for sharing, Ashlie 7y

JordanD Great point @AJones! This could be a fun unit that expands into social studies! 7y

Sabrinac Jordan, this book looks very interesting and like it would be a great one to read during a social studies lesson about Pearl Harbor! I think that it would grab the students interest, and the lesson you picked looks like it would teach them a lot about the events that happened on December 7th, 1942. I really enjoyed your review!(: 7y

DrSpalding You can't do better than National Geographic! High-quality resource to complement a wonderful, relatively new book series for children. Excellent UDL and EL alignment. 7y

JordanD Thank you @DrSpalding! I am definitely adding this series to my classroom library! They are great springboards to gain interest into history! 7y

DrSpalding I couldn't agree more!❤️📚 7y
