Summary:Nanea wants to help! She may be the youngest in her family, but she knows she's grown-up enough to "dip her paddle in" and be useful. Before she can prove she's ready for responsibility , the unthinkable happens. Japan attacks Pearl Harbor--the naval base where her father works--and America is at war! Now Nanea must cope with missing friends and family members, rumors of additional attacks, and lonely nighttime blackouts. As the war wears on, Nanea faces difficult chores and choices. With the spirit of aloha--love, understanding, and compassion--Nanea helps others in ways she never imagined.
