![]() ![]() It gives us the perspective from Attu, an Aleutian Island in the Northern Pacific Ocean. Juvenile literature set during World War II is plentiful, but Island War tells a story unfamiliar to most kids. I think this will appeal to those who enjoy WWII stories, children surviving without adults and those who enjoy descriptions of island life. ![]() This was a quick read, we thought it could have been longer perhaps. It was good too to see a friendly soldier, we liked this characters actions and hoped he escaped the war safely. We loved the dog character and the childrens loyalty to their friend. The friendship between the two main characters was interesting, it was refreshing to see two people who were very different and disliked each other, thrust together in difficult circumstances. We also knew very little about these islands so the descriptions were very interesting and we enjoyed hearing about the wildlife and weather, it sounds like an amazing place. I think this is a story best read not knowing much about, we came to the story knowing very little which made certain turns of the story much more interesting for us. The story was told by the two main characters, a girl and a boy who had just arrived on the island, the chapters alternated between them. We really enjoyed this fast paced WWII story set in the Aleutian islands. ![]()
