(1) YA A strange book was sent to Evan's father just before his sudden death. As Evan reads the book--the translated journal of a WWII Japanese soldier stranded on a mystical island with an American Marine--he experiences a sense of déjà-vu. Wynne-Jones skillfully weaves the World War II journal into Evan's story, building suspense and creating a cracking mystery. An affecting, unforgettable read.
