Island War, Giff Patricia Reilly

Fourteen-year-old Matt never wanted to come to the remote Aleutian Islands--he was dragged here by his father for reasons he cant understand. Eleven-year-old Izzy, on the other hand, loves it--the wild weather, the strange birds, all the new people shes meeting. The two have little in common, except their hometown--they certainly arent friends.

But when Japanese soldiers land on the island, Izzy and Matt are the only ones who escape being shipped off to a prison camp. The two kids must put their differences aside and work together if theyre going to survive. With a long, harsh winter ahead of them, theyll need to dodge Axis soldiers and withstand Allied bombing raids--and keep the village dog from giving them away to the enemy, too.
