Rating: Summary: Boy at War Review: I thought it was the greatest because it had action and blood and war stuff.
Rating: Summary: Pearl Harbor: A Boys Experience Review: I thought this book was very good. Most historical books are taken from an adults point of view, but this one was taken from the perspective of a 14 year old boy. It was nice to read a book where the hero was closer to my own age. This book makes you realize the suffering that the families went through during and after the attack of Pearl Harbor. Wondering wheather or not their family members were alive. This book gives you a sense of what went through a teenagers mind during and after the attack. Especially when their father was in the Navy. I would recommend this book to everyone.

Rating: Summary: A Novel of Pearl Harbor Review: In the book, "A Boy at War", a boy named Adam Belko moves to Pearl Harbor in the middle of November. He moved from house to house because of his dad being in the army and getting drafted to different places. At the civilian high school, he made some new friends in which they decide to go down to Pearl Harbor and fish the next morning. While fishing, Adam showed his Japanese friends the ship that his dad was on, the USS Arizona. All of a sudden Adam and his friends were being shot at by Japanese fighter planes. His friends got wounded really bad, and Adam saw tons of Americans being killed and everything being bombed. A Sergent thought Adam was a sailor and made him and some other sailors temporary U.S. Marines. They helped out by destroying some of the planes that were attacking Pearl Harbor. Adam took the only chance he had and went home to protect his mother and sister. When the Adams family was told that Mr. Belko had died, they returned home to their grandpas home in Adams Center, New York. By Mr. Belko's death, the family was not a part of the army anymore.The characterization of this book was great! This Author made the characters in this book seem real. For example, when Adam was shot the author had written such detail it made me think how bad Adams pain was. Another example for the characters being real is, how they had interacted and argued many times. I liked this book alot and would recomend it for everybody. The book "A Boy at War" held my interest. Have fun reading it!
Rating: Summary: A Boy At War: A Novel of Pearl Harbor by James Review: The book A Boy At War was a really good book. I think it was one of the best books written by Harry Mazer. I liked it because it had a lot of detail and that is what I like most in a book. I recommend it to people who like a lot of description and war.

Rating: Summary: A Boy in the War Review: The book"A Boy At War" was about this kid named Adam. Adam is a boy in the jounior Navy. He travels from one place to the next. Then he travels to Honalolo, Hawaii. His teacher Mr. Handler asked Adam a few questions. For example "Where are you from?" The teacher asked him that question because he might have wanted to know some stuff about him to make him feel comfortable in the school. I liked this book because I like reading about Would War Two. The books are very interesting when you read them instead of wacthing it on TV. One story element would be when Adam goes into the real military to save lives in Would War Two.
