Book Description
for In the Eye of War by Margaret Chang
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Excellent characterizations, strong narrative dialogue and believable relationships earmark a story centered upon the daring adventures and growing resentments of 10-year-old Shao-Shao toward his father who is part of the underground movement against the Japanese. Set in Shanghai during the final year of the Second World War, this novel recreates some of the domestic and daily intrigue within the calm of war's hurricane. (Ages 10-13)
