Growing up with aloha

"Nanea Mitchell may be the youngest in her family, but she still wants to 'dip her paddle in' and be useful. She knows she's grown-up enough to help in her grandparents' market. But before she can prove that she's ready for more responsibility, the unthinkable happens: Japan attacks Pearl Harbor--the naval base where her father works--and America is at war! Now Nanea must cope with missing friends and familiy members, rumors of additional attacks, and drastic changes to her island way of life."--Back cover.
