Denenberg, B. (2007). Early Sunday Morning: the Pearl Harbor diary of Amber Billows. New York: Scholastic.
Pearl Harbor is an event said to have completely changed the direction of the Second World War, mainly by drawing the United Sates into the war, which resulted in the victory of the Allied powers. What starts as simply a diary of a twelve-year-old girl whose family is adjusting to moving across the United States becomes an extraordinary account of Pearl Harbor, and the aftermath and effect on the people in and around the naval base. Unlike most retellings of the tragic event, this diary focuses in on a fictional girl who shows the very real consequences of the attack on the everyday people, both Americans and Japanese Americans, who were thrown into chaos as a result of the devastation.

This diary is considered to be one of the definite Holocaust accounts. Anne Frank, a 13-year-old German girl who was Jewish, spent two years hiding in an attic with other Jews including her family, which ultimately ended in their capture and most of their deaths, including Anne's. Her detailed account of her years in hiding, as well as her commentary and thoughts on the war and discrimination, are viewed to this day as a testament to the sufferings of the 9 million Jews in Europe, only a third of which survived the massacre.
