Set during World War II, this story follows 16-year-old Ossie, who lies about his age to protect his country, and his bond with a one-eyed dog named Lucky. As Ossie becomes a prisoner of war in Japan, the narrative explores themes of heroism, resilience, and the impact of war, culminating in the devastating aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Drawing on first-hand Japanese accounts, the book weaves a powerful tale of endurance amid unimaginable horror.
