Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: Patricia Reilly Giff's Lily's Crossing is a very detailed book about a girl living during W.W.II with her grandmother in Rockaway, New York.
Her father has to go over seas to fight in the war, lily has lost her mom, and her best friend Margaret moves to a town where her father has to build bombs for the war. Just when Lily thinks her summer is ruined, she is introduced to a young man named Albert from Hungary, who comes to spend his summer in Rockaway. Albert has lost many family members. Albert and Lily don't start off very well, but they find out that they have a lot in common. They teach each other to do things they never thought they could do.
I loved the relationship between Lily's family members and friends. If I had to rate this book I would give it a five out of five. This is probably the most detailed book I have ever read. This book is very realistic and in many paragraphs I can picture myself in Lily's shoes. I would recommend this book to readers of all ages.

Summary: Walk Two Moons
Review: Salamanca Tree Hiddle,or Sal, was journey to find her mother, accompaied by her grandparnts. When they insisted on a story, ahe told them about her best friend,Pheobe Winterbottom and the lunitic. But behind Phoebe's story of her lost mother there is Sal's story about her own lost mother and the "red-headed Margret."Sal finds this cartrip the opputernity to reunite with her missing mother,dispite the fact that she is "fishing in the air." I like this book because it show the connections of Sal and Pheobe. The important part is that their simillarities bring them togerther as good friends. They do the same acts as each girl loses their mothers. Ms. Sharon Creech is talented in putting a story in another simillar story. My favorite part is when Sal first meets Pheobe. Pheobe had walked up to Sal saying that she was brave. Sal slowly becomes part of Pheobe's life and consence. They work together to find their mothers.

Summary: Lily's Crossing
Review: The World War II is going on and Lily's life has changed. Her father is now going to the war and her best friend is moving. Lily thought that she was friendless until Albert,a refuge, came to live with her next door neighbor. They join together in a special friendship and has told each other their secrets. They found out that they both have to lies. Lily told one that might cost Albert's life. I enjoyed reading this book, because it was a suspenseful backing to the story. Ms. Patricia Reilly Giff has a gift of bring a fictional girl into the World War II. She makes you feel the sadness of Lily, and the fear Lily has. As you get deeper in the book, you are part of Lily. My favorite part was when Albert moved in. At first, I was deeply hurt when her friend and father went away. When Albert moved in , there was a sudden spring of joy in this darkened story. As Albert said",It's Lily,it's my best friend,Lily."

I dident care for this book. It diden't keep my interest. The author dident put enough action. The characters kept doing the same things over and over again. It to me it went they went swimming the they did this then they did this. to me it kept going blah blah blah blah blah blah. But i think maybe a 4th or 5th grader will like it. My sis is in 4th grade and she enjoyed it and it kept her interest. so you see it might just mean i don't care for this type of book. The author did do a good job of choice of words though.

Summary: Very Realistic Story!!!
Review: I just got finished reading this book, and overall, I thought it was excellent! Lily Mollahan (the main character of the book), her grandmother (also know as Gram), and her father (also know as Poppy) go to their beach house in Rockaway, New York, each summer for a vacation.Well...the year is 1944, and World War 2 is going on. Lily's best friend, Margaret, is leaving Rockaway because her dad and family has to move to Detroit to build airplane parts for the war. So Lily has no one to play with this summer. Poppy comes for a visit, and tells Gram and Lily he will be attending the war. Lily becomes evn more sad. Soon, Lily hears about a boy that is living at the Orban's house (Lily's neighbors)her age named Albert who is a Hungarian refugee. Albert's sister, Ruth, is still stuck in France and has no way to get over to Rockaway. Soon, Lily and Albert become best friends. Lily teaches Albert to swim and teaches and corrects him on his broken English. Albert wants to go back to France to get Ruth, so Lily tells a lie, while Albert has no idea it is not true. Lily has a very big problem with lying. Lily has fun with Albert, but is still sad about Poppy leaving. The book has a very good, happy outcome. The author really lets the reader become very close to the characters. This is a great piece of historical fiction that is a very fast read. Also recommended: Number the Stars
