YAWorld War II series.
In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, Hank finds himself on the USS Yorktown. Missing his family, he befriends a fellow sailor and, along with the dangers of war, learns about the racism his friend must face. Hank's naiveté is shed as he learns difficult life lessons. Heavy topics such as war and prejudice are approached with compassion and gravity in this second series installment.
