Forgotten Pearl

A grandmother's story of her experiences during World War II-era Australia help her granddaughter face her own modern-day problems

Let me tell you a story. A story about friendship and sisters, about grief and love and danger, and about growing up . . .

When Chloe visits her grandmother, she learns how close war came to destroying her family. Could Poppy's experiences help Chloe face her own problems? In 1941, Poppy lives in Darwin, a peaceful paradise. But when Japan attacks Pearl Harbor and then Australia, everything Poppy holds dear is threatened. Terrified, she flees to Sydney--only to find that the danger follows her there. Poppy must face her war with courage and determination. Will her world ever be the same?
