Growing Up with Aloha: A Nanea Classic Volume 1 by Kirby LarsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I honestly thought this was one of the better American Girl classic books, it was very realistic and it wasn't sugar coated.
This book takes place before and during the beginning of World War II. Nanea lives in Hawaii with her family and she loves it there. She feels as if everyone treats her as a baby when she wants to be considered an adult. She thinks everything in life is perfect until the bombing of Pearl Harbor and her life changes forever. All of the schools close and rationing starts, plus, Nanea loses her beloved dog.
As the book goes on, Nanea learns that life goes on no matter what, and she finally starts to act like an adult.
I am obviously above the age recommendation for this book but I fully enjoyed it. I would recommend this book for anyone who is a fan of history be it a boy or a girl, no matter the age. It is simply a very good book.
