โA gripping saga of wartime survival.โ โKirkus Reviews, Starred
ย
Based on a true story, this World War II novel by Scott OโDell Award winner Graham Salisbury tells how Zenji, 17, is sent from Hawaii to the Philippines to spy on the Japanese.
Zenji Watanabe was born in Hawaii. Heโs an American, but the Japanese wouldnโt know it by the look of him. And thatโs exactly what the US government is counting on.
ย
Because he speaks both English and Japanese perfectly, the army recruits Zenji for a top-secret mission to spy on the Japanese. If they discover his true identity, heโll be treated as a traitor and executed on the spot.
ย
As World War II boils over in the Pacific, Zenji is caught behind enemy lines. But even though his Japanese heritage is his death warrant, itโs also his key to outwitting the enemy and finding the strength to face the terrors of battle, the savagery of the jungle, and the unspeakable cruelty of war.
ย
The riveting Hunt for the Bamboo Rat is based on a true story and follows in the path of author Graham Salisburyโs other highly acclaimed Prisoners of the Empire titles, which began with the award-winningย Under the Blood-Red Sun.ย
Finalist for:
Nebraska Golden Sower Award
South Carolina Book Awards
"Salisbury has once again crafted a fine novel, based on an actual person, about first-generation Americans of Japanese descent and the clash of culture and national identity that World War II accentuated. . . . ย The story will leave readers spellbound." โKirkus Reviews,ย Starred
"Fast-paced and compelling, this title will be enjoyed by voracious and reluctant readers." โSLJ
"The history is fascinating, and Zenji is a fictional hero readers will long remember." โThe Horn Book
