"Readers who choose the book for the attraction of Navajo code
talking and the heat of battle will come away with more than they
ever expected to find." —Booklist, starred review
"With its multicultural themes and well-told WWII history, this
will appeal to a wide audience." —Kirkus Reviews, starred
review
"Bruchac's gentle prose presents a clear historical picture of
young men in wartime, island hopping across the Pacific, waging war
in the hells of Guadalcanal, Bougainville, and Iwo Jima.
Nonsensational and accurate, Bruchac's tale is quietly
inspiring..." —School Library Journal
