A Good Read

Tells the story of an unforgettable day in history: The Bombing in Pearl Harbor. It tells the story of a young girl and her experience. Great book overall except for one swear word in the beginning besides that very good.

To tell you the honest truth, it could have been better

This book is really good. It's about a girl named Amber Billows who moves to Hawaii with her family. She makes friends and has fun, but everything is interrupted when Japanese airplanes attack Pearl Harbor.This book could have been so much better, but I still love it anyway, don't ask me why. I liked how the author made it seem how you were right there, and went into detail about stuff. My only complaint is that it could have been longer.

The Bombing of Pearl Harbor

This book is amazing.It is about a 12 year old girl moving from Washington D.C. to Oahu, Hawaii. She could not believe that she had to move again since she had move for 4 times in the last few years. Her father was a reporter, her mom is a stay-at-home mom who likes to cook, and she also had a brother which is a baseball maniac. When she arrived in Hawaii, she liked it. She met a new friend called Kame, which was a Japanese. They were really close and they liked to do stuff together. After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the police held onto Kame's father, and questioned him for a long time. People were going to the market and restore their food supplies in case of another attack. This book is a great historical fiction book that everyone will enjoy. I really like this book. It gives detail information of how people felt after the bombing of the Pearl Harbor and how frantic they were. This book is also a great history lesson if people like to know all about the Pearl Harbor , and how the United States got involved in the World War II. My favorite part of the book is when Amber's friend came to her house in D.C. and told her that she will be her best friend ever. I think that was really sweet and it is a pleasure to have a true friend like that. I think this book is the best Dear America book I have ever read.

TERRIFIC

Early Sunday Morning was a great book. I'm not a really a big reader of Barry Denenburg but this was differant. I liked the way he captured te tuth about Pearl Harbor but also captured ow it affected the lives of one family, the Billows. The story is a five star book and has a five star author. You should read Early Sunday Morning if you like great books and if you want to read a little bit about Pearl Harbor.

It so so Historic and nice.

This book was really good, it Always kept me interested and it never got boring Execpt in some parts about her life. It was to short the author could have put a little more history in it. It was nice to see that day through the eyes of a person who actually saw it and lived it. Also, United We Stand.

Terrific!!

This was an outstanding book. Before I read it I only knew a few thigs about Pearl Harbor, but now I know a little more. This book is about a girl, whose father is a reporter, and they always move. Well, know they have to move to Hawaii. While in Hawaii, Pearl Harbor is attacked. In the book you learn about everything that changed in Hawaii after the attack. I recommend this book to anyone that likes historical type books.
