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. Hideki and Ray each fight their way across the island, surviving heart-pounding 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 bestselling 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.

I did a review for ‘Allies’ by Gratz. DS liked it so much that we purchased ‘Grenade’ for his book club. The reading can get a little heavy obviously because of the subject matter. Makes him think and reflect on how life can be different for others. After this book, he is hooked on Gratz. Loves having a hardback book, the smell of the paper and the richness of turning a page. I believe it’s teacher recommended and also has cliff notes. His tutor looks forward to their Gratz discussions.

We are awaiting our next Gratz book to be delivered this week! So much easier when you find an author you can purchase multiple titles from.
Especially as libraries are not open due to covid. It’s impossible to browse to find an interesting read.

Im a 13 year old girl and I love books based on real events I believe that it makes the story more believable! Thats why I like this author. I've read Prisoner-3087 in the forth grade and I loved it! Iv'e always loved learning about WWll because life was soo different and interesting back then! (SPOILER ALERT COMING!) The story is told bye two points of veiws, a young american marine and a young Japenese boy who is part of the blood Iron student corps. They fight there ways from different sides of the island and they collide it the middle, of course they are frantic on what to do. So they both throw a grenade that was given to them at each other. (ANNOTHER CRAZY SPOILER COMING!!) Rey gets hit with shrapnel from the grenades and dies. Hideki lives. As you can see this is why the book is called Grenade, the grenade plays a big part in the story. Anyways, I would totally recommend this book for tweens and teens! : )

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2020

I don't know about you but when I want to try a series of books for my son, I only buy one or the first one FIRST before buying the "set" thus I started him on Refugee from a school library fundraiser purchase. LOVED it.... long story short he seriously devours these books! Takes them to school for free time, no back talk to get into bed a little earlier for reading time, begging for just 5 more minutes at bedtime - seriously, I just wish there were more - makes the mom or dad job so much easier! So my question would be if your son or daughter loved this series too -where do I go next? Open to suggestions as there is only one left in this series he is about to begin - Code of Honor.... help! :-)

Daughter loves all things Alan Gratz. If you are a fan of one of his books you will like them all to varying degrees. When asked if she would recommend she says, “Yes!” In fact she would likely become friends on the spot with someone else if she saw them reading this author on their own because it means they have great if not the best taste in books. She is and has been an avid reader for years and just turned 13, but still reads every book that comes out by Alan Gratz, so highly recommend this purchase.

I purchased this book for my grandson for Christmas. He has read many books by this author and was hoping to find this one in his school library. He was so excited to receive it that he finished it by the end of their hours long car ride back to their house after a Christmas visit. Highly recommended
