The instant #1 New York Times bestseller! From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Refugee, Ground Zero, and Two Degrees comes this heart-pounding, inventive, and powerful new novel about the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor... as only Alan Gratz can tell it! December 6, 1941: Best friends Frank and Stanley have it good. With their dads stationed at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii, the boys get to soak up the sunshine while writing and drawing their own comic books.

As explosions roar and sailors scream, Frank and Stanley realize the unthinkable is happening: Japan is attacking America! The war has come to them. Frantically, the boys struggle to find safety. But disaster and danger are everywhere--from torpedoes underwater to bullets on the beach... to the shocking cruelty that their friends and neighbors show Stanley. Because his mom is Japanese-American, Stanley is suddenly seen as the "enemy." And Frank, who is white, cannot begin to understand what his friend is now facing.

The comic is written by Alan Gratz and illustrated by Judit Tondora.

Do autor best-seller de Refugiados, Alan Gratz retorna com mais uma ficção eletrizante não muito distante da realidade — e desta vez a ameaça põe em risco toda a humanidade. Quando um incêndio florestal de grandes proporções castiga a Flórida, um furacão avassalador devasta Miami e ursos-polares começam a caçar em território humano no ártico canadense, quatro jovens terão precisam lutar por suas vidas em meio às consequências do aquecimento global. Diretamente atacados pela fúria da natureza — ou seria mais apropriado dizer "contra-atacados? —, Akira, Natalie, Owen e George, de apenas treze anos, veem a luta pela sobrevivência andar de mãos dadas com a reflexão sobre as ações humanas e as mudanças climáticas, bem como os impactos desse desequilíbrio. O aquecimento global é cada vez mais inegável, e os efeitos das mudanças climáticas já estão entre nós. O debate é necessário e urgente, e os mais jovens são essenciais para o futuro da humanidade e da condição de vida como a conhecemos. Apesar de as devastações serem distintas e em áreas diferentes, há apenas um planeta e uma única missão: deter as mudanças climáticas antes que seja tarde demais! Assim como Refugiados abordou a crise imigratória para jovens leitores, Última chamada alerta sobre uma ameaça cada vez mais urgente — as mudanças climáticas — e conduz os leitores por uma aventura ininterrupta que os fará devorar o livro e planejar suas próprias ações para mudar o mundo.
