a boy at warJanuary 31, 2007 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you like historical fiction you will like this book. It's about a boy that goes to live to Hawaii in about the 1900s. His name is Adam. In school he finds two friends. Later in the book his friends take him on a fishing trip to Pearl Harbor. Then the Japanese made a surprise attack on the navel base of Pearl Harbor. Then they tried to get to a hospital because a guy hit one of Adam's friend in the face with a gun and he started bleeding a lot. But they crashed. Something happened to Adam's dad during the attack. Read and see what happens next. There are many good characters in this book. First there is Adam. He is smart and overprotected. Davi is another character. He is also smart but not that caring. Harry Mazer described the characters he used a lot of details. I could really visualize what they were like. I felt so amazed and exited when I read this book. I would recommend this book to readers who like a lot of action.
This book was horribleNovember 1, 2006 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought that this book was a waste of money and trees, because Mazer has no creativeness to him. He was trying too hard to make it like a movie, but the real newsflash is that it was just plain bad.

A Boy At War was a great book. When I was reading it I couldn't put it down. It was about a kid who was new to Hawaii. In his new school he met some guys named Davi Mori and a another guy. They decided to go fishing in Pearl Harbor and while they were fishing the Japenese planes flew over. Adams dad was on the ship the USS Arizona when the planes flew over. All of the other ships were sunk by bombs and so was his fathers ship. Many mens lives were taken that day. Will Adams dad come back or did he drown in the deep darkness,sufficating and dying slowly? Read to find out!

A boy at war is a great book about a boy named Adam who moves to Hawaii from New York in 1941. He comes to Hawaii and goes to a public school. He is not used to public school because he has always gone to school on base because his dad is in the Navy. He doesn't have friends at his new school. Then one day he makes friends. Then a lot of suspense happens all at once on page 46. If you want to read something that has a lot of action then read this.
