Perfect for kids who've loved Paulsen's Brian books

Jed is half Tsimshian and half white, his best friend Tadashi is Japanese, but what they both are to themselves is Canadian. But the practices and laws of their country don't agree just before the beginning of Wold War II in remote Prince Rupert Sound on the British Columbia coast. Meanwhile they're working at an army base and nursing a wounded bald eagle back to health. It's an understated, perfect little book, particularly for boys who are interested in action-- and who would appreciate the issues of identity of boys go through.
