In this compelling story set during World War II, young Ossie, a 16-year-old who lies about his age to serve his country, faces the realities of war—including a harrowing journey to Japan and the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Alongside themes of bravery, compassion, and resilience, the narrative explores the enduring bonds between humans and animals in times of extraordinary upheaval. Based on first-hand Japanese accounts, the novel offers a nuanced perspective on a pivotal moment in history that continues to resonate today.
