History Smashers: Pearl Harbor

By Kate Messner & Dylan Meconis
History Smashers: Pearl Harbor by Kate Messner & Dylan Meconis digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Myths! Lies! Secrets! Uncover the hidden truth behind the infamous Pearl Harbor attack with beloved educator/author Kate Messner. The fun mix of sidebars, illustrations, photos, and graphic panels make this perfect for fans of I Survived! and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a completely unpredictable attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Right? Well, that's not quite the real deal. Some military experts had suggested that Pearl Harbor was a likely target. There were other warning signs, too, but nobody paid much attention. From the first wave of the Japanese bombers to the United States' internment of thousands of Japanese Americans, acclaimed author Kate Messner smashes history by exploring the little-known truths behind the story of Pearl Harbor and its aftermath.

“I loved reading this! This one was my first from this series, but I'm a fan of Hazardous Tales, I Survived, and Who/What Was books. I'll definitely be reading more! I think I liked this one more than the Who/What Was books (which I like a lot). I learned a lot I didn't know about Pearl Harbor and WWII, and the storytelling was compelling and engaging.”
