Hi! Today on Reading Wednesday we’ll be taking a look at another book, Attack at Pearl Harbor<\/em>. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always been fascinated by the time period in and around World War II. So naturally, I’m interested in books written about that time period. Here, for your consideration, I have just such a novel. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True, Attack at Pearl Harbor<\/em> might not be the most educational book (it’s intended for the most part for younger readers) but it still gives a peak into what the lives of two average teenage girls might’ve been way back when. It’s written in a rather unconventional manner, meaning letters exchanged between Meredith Lyons and Catherine Clark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meredith Lyon’s father is in the military, and her family is stationed in Pearl Harbor (the book begins in October of 1940.) She dreams of becoming a pilot, an unconventional wish for other girls her age. This causes friction with those around her, most of whom assume she’ll grow up and become a nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine Clark, Meredith’s best friend, is a budding newspaper reporter; though she also finds that her ambitions might be a little harder to achieve than she had first thought. Her brother Hank, has Polio, and is a key part of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their lives are pretty normal, for a time. Rumors of war circulate, but surely they’re not in any danger…right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to find Attack at Pearl Harbor:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’ll leave a link to the book here<\/a>. I hope you check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that’s all for now. What are your favorite time periods or events to read about? ~ Emily<\/p>\n\n\n\n
