Jody and her dog Happy are best friends. Because her father is a member of the Marines, the family, which includes sister Peggy and Mom, has to move often. At some point they ends up in Hawaii. More specifically to Pearl Harbor. First of all, it's a wonderful life on the tropical island. But it quickly becomes clear that this paradise is in danger. One day the worst happens and the Japanese army launches its attack on Pearl Harbor. Jody and her family survive, but are separated from her dad. Jody, her sister and her mother come to San Francisco via stopovers and try to build a new life until they can be reunited with their father. But everything quickly gets out of hand and Jody has to do everything she can to keep her family together.
This book primarily tells the story of a girl and her dog. But as the story progresses, the focus becomes more and more on a family that has to find its way through the trials and tribulations of war. Jody and her sister have to grow up quickly and suddenly take on a lot of responsibility because their parents are temporarily unable to do so. Despite all the despair, hope for better times always shines through. Happy the dog always stands faithfully at the side of his favorite person. In some chapters the story is even told from his perspective, which gives the story a different point of view. Overall, this is a great young adult book that shows what you are capable of even in dark times and how important it is to have someone by your side, regardless of whether that someone has two or four legs.
