by Gary Paulsen (Author)
As a child during the Second World War, Gary Paulsen and his mother travelled from Chicago to the Philippines, summoned by his father, a distant, imperious army officer whom Gary had never known. With his mother, who was sometimes fiercely protective, sometimes selfishly neglectful, Gary witnessed scenes of extreme horror (such as a bloody encounter with sharks in the Pacific), and these memories alternate with tender evocations of his life of a young boy growing up at an extraordinary time.

Book Overview: 'In its raw portrayal of a child thrown into the horrors of war and the adult world this book reminds one of J G Ballard's Empire of the Sun' LA Times Reissued in the same stylish cover style as Winterdance, alongside Pilgrimage on a Steel Ride '[Paulsen's] themes - isolation, self-reliance, initiation - recur in his new memoir. So, too, do scenes of fantastic adventure and danger' London Review of Books 'Eastern Sun, Winter Moon is a quiet masterpiece' Daily Telegraph
