Attack on Pearl Harbor (Ranger in Time #12)

by Kate Messner, Kelley McMorris (Illustrator)

Overview

I Survived meets The Puppy Place in this thrilling adventure novel as Ranger — a time-traveling golden retriever — races to the rescue on the day of the Pearl Harbor attack.

Ranger travels back to 1941 Hawaii, where World War II is on everyone's minds. That includes Ben Hansen, a young sailor stationed at Pearl Harbor, and twins Paul and Grace Yamada who are making their weekly market trip when Japanese bombs begin to fall from the sky. As the surprise attack puts all of Ranger's new friends in danger, his search-and-rescue training kicks in to high gear. Can he help them survive against all odds?
