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
