I've been a big fan of every Lois Lowry book I've ever read. I had no idea this was coming out, but when I found out, I immediately got it out from the library. Everyone should read this book. It is a powerful, emotional, personal look at the personal histories of those who died and lived in Pearl Habor or the Hiroshima bombing. I sure had some damp eyes at times. Very beautiful book, and I plan to gift this book to quite a few people I know.
