Though aimed at younger readers, Lynch doesn't write down, instead offering a powerful taste of war on a personal level." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Praise for Chris Lynch's VIETNAM: "The best Vietnam War novels yet for this age range." - KIRKUS REVIEWS "Lynch brilliantly captures the war in small details." - BOOKLIST "A fine balance of thoughtfulness and gritty action." - BCCB

SynopsisCritically acclaimed author Chris Lynch provides an action-oriented but thoughtful view of the US Navy's war in the Pacific. Hank and Theo are brothers who share everything, including a sense of duty a love of baseball. They have been inseparable for their entire lives. But when America is drawn into World War II, the young brothers find themselves fighting the same war on opposite sides of the globe. As an airedale in the Navy, Hank now lives aboard an aircraft carrier, the USS Yorktown. His job is to assist the pilots who soar off each day to engage Japanese forces in the Pacific Ocean. It is a crucial and terrifying duty in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor. As the days at sea become weeks and months, Hank adapts to life apart from his family. He even adapts to the fear of torpedoes. But in an era of prejudice and segregation, it's Hank's choice of friends that might prove most dangerous of all.
