MY HIROSHIMA PB

https://resource.scholastic.com.au/ProductImages/8357776_T.jpg

A new edition of a contemporary classic about war, survival and hope — and what happened to one young girl when an atomic bomb was dropped on her city.

On 6 August, 1945, 13-year-old Junko Morimoto's life changed forever. That was the day that an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the Japanese city where she lived.

First published in Australia, widely praised and subsequently translated into fourteen languages, the picture book My Hiroshima is Junko's powerful and deeply moving story of a period in history that should never be forgotten.

Grenade

https://resource.scholastic.com.au/ProductImages/8595256_T.jpg

It's 1945, and the world is in the grip of war. Hideki lives with his family on the island of Okinawa, near Japan. When WWII crashes onto his shores, Hideki is drafted into the Blood and Iron Student Corps to fight for the Japanese army. He is handed a grenade and a set of instructions: Don't come back until you've killed an American soldier.

Ray, a young American Marine, has just landed on Okinawa. This is Ray's first-ever battle, and he doesn't know what to expect–or if he'll make it out alive. He just knows that the enemy is everywhere, with ambushes and dangerous traps. But then the two of them collide in the middle of the battle...and choices they make in that single instant will change everything.

Alan Gratz, New York Times best-selling author of Refugee, returns with this high-octane story of how fear and war tear us apart, but how hope and redemption tie us together. Grenade

My Australian Story: Bombing of Darwin

https://resource.scholastic.com.au/ProductImages/8553216_T.jpg

More bombs exploded and within seconds several ships were on fire. Japanese planes flew so close to me that I could not only see the red circles painted under their wings, but I could see the pilots' faces. It only took a moment. It was a moment that Tom would always remember–that morning of 19 February 1942, when everything changed...changed from peace to war. My Australian Story: Bombing of Darwin

Heroes of the Holocaust

https://resource.scholastic.com.au/ProductImages/82499_T.jpg

Maria Andzelm was a Catholic teenager growing up in Nazi-occupied Poland. One by one, her Jewish friends and neighbours were hauled away to undisclosed locations, never to be seen or heard from again. Then Maria’s family took in two Jewish men. They hid them in a box underneath the floor of their barn. Every day, Maria brought them food to satisfy their stomachs and books to feed their minds. She did this every day for two years–and paid a terrible price.

Read Maria’s stirring story as well as the gripping accounts of five other teenagers who willingly put their lives in jeopardy for the sake of saving Jews during World War II. Heroes of the Holocaust

This is My Song

https://resource.scholastic.com.au/ProductImages/8452175_T.jpg

This is my blood, this is my song.

In the early 1940s in Czechoslovakia, Rafael Ullmann and his family are sent to Terezin, the so-called ‘model ghetto’ for Jewish artists. In the 1970s in Canada, Annie Ullmann lives a predictable, lonely life on a prairie with her reclusive father and deaf-dumb mother. Thirty years later, in Australia, Joe Hawker is uncertain about himself and his future.

Told across three continents and time-lines, This Is My Song is a symphony–encouraging us to find our own music. This is My Song

When a free-spirited mountain boy finds a wounded Australian soldier lying in a ditch, he knows he cannot leave him. Together they embark on a perilous journey along the Kokoda Track.

During the Pacific War of World War II, a series of battles were fought along the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. The villagers who assisted the troops became known as the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels. Using a combination of oil paintings and pencil sketches, the multi-award-winning author and illustrator Mark Wilson brings this important period of history to life in this stunning picture book.

My Australian Story: Kokoda

https://resource.scholastic.com.au/ProductImages/8551157_T.jpg

It’s been a disastrous day. The radio news reports that HMAS Canberra has been sunk with the loss of 819 lives and Kokoda has been lost by the Australians. Who knows where Des’s lot are? Somewhere on the mountain track between Kokoda and Port Moresby with the Japs hot on their heels.

Harold couldn’t say too much in his latest letter, but it sounds like his division is moving to New Guinea too. In his diary, Archie records his own battles at home, against the local bully, Beefy; and how Townsville copes as it becomes a base for the Pacific campaign; and the Australian east coast reels under Japanese bombs. Archie’s two brothers are fighting in the battlefields of World War II. Des has been sent with the militia to fight in the treacherous landscape of the jungles of New Guinea against the Japanese–and his brother Harold is about to join him, after surviving the campaign in the Middle East.

There is nothing between Australia and a Japanese invasion except a small band of brave soldiers, fighting rain, mud, malaria and machine guns. My Australian Story: Kokoda
