Summary: Quite a good addition to the series....
Review: Amber Billows and her family follow their father wherever he goes, be it Washington D.C.,Boston, San Francisco or...Hawaii. Amber hates moving- just for once, she wants to start school in September, like everyone else. However, her father is a reporter, and he has to go where he's sent, so the whole family pack up their home in Washington and head for Hawaii.
Amber begins to adapt to life in Hawaii, but soon, something terrible happens, so unexpected that it seems like nothing in this tenjiku, (heavenly place) will ever be the same again...I read this book all in one sitting, and after I finsihed it, I wasn't very impressed. However, as I review it a year later, I've decided that I do think its a good book. It is very short, which is my only real complaint.
I was especially interested in how it talked about the predudice against the Japanese residents of Oahu after the bombing, something which, when I first read the book, I'd heard very little about. I also liked how Amber was new to the island, which gave the story a bit more plot, such as a new house, new friends and a new life, as opposed to someone who was living on the island and described the events, therefore just making it a purely "Pearl Harbor book". Overall, I feel that while I initially thought it to be boring and short, I now am glad to own Early Sunday Morning, because I think its well written and has a solid plot to be linked with the Pearl Harbor catastophe.

Summary: Not that good
Review: I didn't really like this book. It barely had any thing about what happened December 7th. It was some what interesting, but it had hardly any thing to do w/ it's subject. Not really worth reading. Even if you know every thing or if you know nothing about Pearl Harbor, this isn't a good book. I won't be reading(or recomending) this book again. ~Atalanta

Summary: A wonderful book to read
Review: I loved this book. It really tells you about how the people felt about Pearl Harbor not just what happenend. It is a really good book for learning about Pearl Harbor. It tells the story about Amber Billows and her family as they deal with the crazy world around them. All of the sudden her Japanesse neighbors and friends are being sent to different places and being treated very different. I recomend this book to anyone who wants to learn about Pearl Harbor and wants to learn about what really happened to the people affected by it.

Summary: Early Sunday Morning
Review: I've read many of the Dear America Books. This is the best one I've read. This book is easy to understand and makes sense. The Author done a good job telling how Amber really felt on the day of Pearl Harbor. When I started reading the book I couldn't get my hands of the book it was so good. The best thing is the book is short and is easy to read. This book is the best of Dear America Series. A rate this book A 5 out of 5 stars because it is educational and fun to read.

Summary: Definitely NOT up to Dear America standards . . .
Review: My grandma got me this book as a sort of early Hanukah present, along with another Dear America book. I must say, this book royally stank.
The first fault is the print is so big, it's really only about a quarter as long as the other Dear America books. It was too short to be very enjoyable, and it introduces characters, giving very little information about them. As for Amber's brother, Andy . . . I wasn't sure if he was eight or sixteen until near the end of the book. And it was just too obvious the reason that the dance-thing was on December 7. I think BArry Denenberg can do a lot better, e.g., My Face to the Wind, which was one of my favorites.
Also, this book is way too sad. If oyu don't like sad endings, DON'T read this book

Summary: Good
Review: This book is probably one of my favs. out of all the Dear America books I've read. Its about a 12-yr-old girl who moves from D.C. to Hawaii in 1941 w/ her Reporter father, mother who lives for cooking, and baseball crazed older brother. This is a very good book describing Pearl Harbor from a 12-yr-olds point of view. It also tells of the harsh treatment the Japanese living in Hawaii recieved, how hetic the hospitals were, how people went crazy w/ hoarding food incase there was another attack. It also tells about the safety percautions the military took.

Summary: To tell you the honest truth, it could have been better
Review: 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.

Summary: A Great Book
Review: This book talks about Amber Billows, a girl who moved from Washington D.C to Hawaii just before Dec. 7 and Pearl Harbor. Her mom thought that it would be good for Amber's older brother has has Asthma. But Amber's family is always moving from one place to another because of her Dad's job. Also, Amber's mom is expecting a baby that would be due around May.
Amber gives lots of details about Pearl Harbor and Hawaii. But on Dec.7 she said she could hardly write because of the shock she was in. She tells how her family painted their windows black and of the Bomb Shelter they had in their living room. This book is a very interesting book with a lot of details.
