Perry - Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy: at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941

by Jan Carol Duncan, Kanae Koyama (Illustrator), Naoimi Shin (Translator)

Overview

Perry, who lives in a small Texas town, learns to play the bugle in school. Later, when he joins the Navy, he becomes a bugler for his ship. The events of WWII not only changed the world but changed this young man.

Halfway around the world in Japan, another boy named Zenji learns to become a pilot. He was also brought up in a small town and didn't know what was ahead of him or who he would meet in the near future.

Perry, who was on watch on the USS Raleigh at Pearl Harbor, would never guess the outcome of the events on the morning of December 7, 1941. An unlikely meeting would eventually bridge the gap between Perry and Zenji, even though they were different in many ways.
