A Japanese American soldier on a secret wartime assignment

Set in the weeks surrounding the attack on Pearl Harbor, the novel follows Eddy Okubo from his enlistment in Honolulu into the U.S. Army’s growing suspicion of Japanese American soldiers. His assignment takes him with a small group to an island off Mississippi, where he is tasked with serving as bait while attack dogs are trained. The premise brings together military service, wartime distrust, and the unequal burdens placed on soldiers whose loyalty is questioned because of their heritage.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical military fiction.
  • Readers interested in Japanese American experiences during World War II.
  • Readers drawn to stories about military service and questions of loyalty.

Book overview

Eddy Okubo lies about his age and joins the army in his hometown of Honolulu only weeks before the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. Suddenly Americans see him as the enemy--even the U.S. Army doubts the loyalty of Japanese American soldiers.

Then the army sends Eddy and a small band of Japanese American soldiers on a secret mission to a small island off the coast of Mississippi. Here they are given a special job, one that only they can do. Eddy's going to help train attack dogs. He's going to be the bait.
