From Alan Gratz, the highly acclaimed, New York Times bestselling
author of the blockbuster Refugee, comes a thrilling new
multi-perspective novel, this time centered around D-Day. D-Day,
June 6, 1944: the most expansive military endeavor in history. No
less than world cooperation would bring down Hitler and the Axis
powers. And so people -- and kids -- across the globe lent their
part. From the young US soldiers in the boats to spies in the
French countryside, the coordination of thousands came together.
Alan Gratz, author of the New York Times bestselling Refugee,
explores the necessity of teamwork and heroism in dismantling
tyranny in this epic, yet personal, look at D-Day in time for the
75th anniversary of the operation.

It's 1945, and the world is in the grip of war. Hideki lives with
his family on the island of Okinawa, near Japan. When the Second
World War crashes onto his shores, Hideki is drafted to fight for
the Japanese army. He is handed a grenade and a set of
instructions: Don't come back until you've killed an American
soldier. Ray, a young American Marine, has just landed on Okinawa.
This is Ray's first-ever battle, and he doesn't know what to expect
-- or if he'll make it out alive. All he knows that the enemy is
everywhere. Hideki and Ray each fight their way across the island,
surviving heart-pounding ambushes and dangerous traps. But then the
two of them collide in the middle of the battle... And choices they
make in that single instant will change everything. Alan Gratz, New
York Times bestselling author of Refugee, returns with this
high-octane story of how fear and war tear us apart, but how hope
and redemption tie us together. Reviews for Refugee: "An absolute
must read for people of all ages" - Hannah Greendale, Goodreads
"Like RJ Palacio's Wonder, this book should be mandatory
reading..." - Skip, Goodreads "I liked how the book linked history
with adventure, and combined to make a realistic storyline for all
three characters" - AJH, aged 11, Toppsta

Dedicated to the 70th anniversary of World War II's D-Day this
commemorative edition of Heroic Histories series is packed with
information and activities to explore the past in a fun way
Includes colourful and humorous illustrations that are age
appropriate and quirky.
On May 19, 1942, during WWII, a U-boat in the Gulf of Mexico
stalked its prey fifty miles from New Orleans. The submarine set
its sights on the freighter Heredia. Most onboard were merchant
seamen, but there were also civilians, including the Downs family:
Ray and Ina and their two children. Fast asleep in their berths,
the Downs family had no idea that two torpedoes were heading their
way. When the ship exploded, chaos ensued - and each family member
had to find their own path to survival. This inspiring historical
narrative tells the story of the Downs family as they struggle
against sharks, hypothermia, drowning, and dehydration in their
effort to survive the aftermath of this deadly attack off the
American coast. For fans of Refugee and Unbroken.
