As with Sara Ackerman's Red Sky over Hawaii, the history of Radar Girls is 1941. Hawaii. Pearl Harbor. WWII. The specific history is of the Women's Air Raid Defense (WARD). Within this history is the story of twenty-three year old Daisy Wilder in Waialua, O'ahu. For Daisy, this journey is also about finding friendship and acceptance and a sisterhood. Ultimately, the book does what I love about historical fiction. It teaches me something new and sends me off on a search to learn more about the actual history.
