Based on the inspiring true life story of Jack Gruener.</B><P></P>10 concentration camps. 10 different places where you are starved, tortured, and worked mercilessly. It's something no one could imagine surviving. But it is what Yanek Gruener has to face. As a Jewish boy in 1930s Poland, Yanek is at the mercy of the Nazis who have taken over. Everything he has, and everyone he loves, have been snatched brutally from him. And then Yanek himself is taken prisoner — his arm tattooed with the words PRISONER B-3087. He is forced from one nightmarish concentration camp to another, as World War II rages all around him. He encounters evil he could have never imagined, but also sees surprising glimpses of hope amid the horror. He just barely escapes death, only to confront it again seconds later. Can Yanek make it through the terror without losing his hope, his will — and, most of all, his sense of who he really is inside?

World Warr II might be raging overseas, but so far America has stayed out of the fight. There’s nothing to fear, right? December 7, 1941: Everything implodes. Frank and Stanley are touring a battleship when Japanese planes zoom overhead, dropping bomb after bomb. As explosives roar and sailors scream, Frank and Stanley realize the unthinkable is happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them. Frantically, the boys struggle to find safety. But disaster and danger are everywhere – from torpedoes underwater to bullets on the beach … to the shocking cruelty that their friends and neighbors show Stanley. Because his mom is Japanese American, Stanley is suddenly seen as the “enemy.” And Frank, who is white, cannot begin to understand what his friend is now facing. If the boys make it through this infamous day, can their friendship – and their dreams – survive? Or has everything they know been destroyed? Told with the immediacy, high-stakes action, and inventive storytelling that make Alan Gratz (Refugee, Ground Zero) one of today’s biggest authors, this riveting look at the attack on Pearl Harbor explores themes of prejudice, power, and what it truly means to be a hero." -- Inside front jacket flap.]]></description><link>https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S94C1968914</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S94C1968914</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gratz, Alan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1968914094</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781338736076/MC.GIF&amp;client=depup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Captain America]]></title><description><![CDATA[During World War II, Captain America and his sidekick, Bucky Barnes, find themselves going up against an unstoppable foe: a Ghost Army that's made up of the dead of this war and wars past.

With their dads stationed at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii, the boys get to soak up the sunshine while writing and drawing their own comic books. World War II might be raging overseas, but so far America has stayed out of the fight. There's nothing to fear, right?</P><P>December 7th, 1941: Everything implodes.</P><P>Frank and Stanley are touring a battleship when Japanese planes zoom overhead, dropping bomb after bomb. As explosions roar and sailors scream, Frank and Stanley realize the unthinkable is happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them.</P><P>Frantically, the boys struggle to find safety. But disaster and danger are everywhere—from torpedoes underwater to bullets on the beach... to the shocking cruelty that their friends and neighbors show Stanley. Because his mom is Japanese-American, Stanley is suddenly seen as the "enemy." And Frank, who is white, cannot begin to understand what his friend is now facing.</P><P>If the boys make it through this infamous day, can their friendship—and their dreams—survive? Or has everything they know been destroyed?</P><P>Told with the immediacy, high-stakes action, and inventive storytelling that make Alan Gratz (<I>Refugee</I>,<I>Ground Zero</I>) one of today's biggest authors, this riveting look at the attack on Pearl Harbor explores themes of prejudice, power, and what it truly means to be a hero.</P><P>Plus: The book ends with an all-original, 10-page black & white comic that brings to life the comic book idea that Frank and Stanley brainstorm in the novel. The comic is written by Alan Gratz and illustrated by Judit Tondora.</P>]]></description><link>https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9768321</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C9768321</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gratz, Alan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/9768321980</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781338736083/MC.GIF&amp;client=depup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resist]]></title><description><![CDATA[<B>From #1 <I>New York Times</I> bestselling author Alan Gratz comes a gripping, 80-page bonus story about D-Day that can be read alongside the novel <I>Allies</I>, or on its own!</B><P></P><P>Samira Zidane lives in Nazi-occupied France during World War II...and she has a secret.
