A World War II Childhood

What is it like to grow up poor and bi-racial in wartorn Manila? Join Pooh in her adventures whether it's foiling a chicken thief, piloting a makeshift airplane, or mustering the pluck to play for a sad Japanese officer. Gamboa-Lewis gives an unflinching, candid memoir of her pre-teen years set against the backdrop of the second World War. Although this true story happened a long time ago, today's readers will identify with Pooh as she struggles between right and wrong, joy and sadness, obedience and rebellion.
