Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly GiffMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My daughter picked this book for our parent/child book assignment for her 5th grade class. It's a delightful youth book, full of details about what it was like in America during WWII. Lily is a wonderfully complicated girl who learns a lot about courage, redemption, and gratitude the summer her father joins the Army and she meets a refugee from Hungary. It's a simple, sweet story but I admit I was hooked enough to read most of it in one sitting, and cried at the end.
