Summary: Excellent book with heartfelt moments
Review: I truly loved Lily's Crossing! The flavor of the words weaved a wonderful story with so many themes. This was a very touching story and one could feel exactly what Lily was going through at different times in her life. The title was appropriate because she did make a "crossing." I could not put this book down and all I wanted to do was turn the next page to see what Lily would get into next. This was such a heartfelt and moving book that it is definitely a must read!

Summary: CROSSING FROM SELFISH CHILDHOOD INTO COMPASSION
Review: Lily typifies the very young and the restless that hot, sweaty summer of 1944 after the invasion of Normandy. All America waited to hear news of the Allied victory and the end of WWII. But not Lily--she was bored and angry that she had no mother and then her beloved Poppy had to join up to help Over There. Her only delight was their annual summer vacation at Rockaway, NY, in stern Gram's summer cabin on stilts. But things will not be the same for the three of them--not this summer nor ever again. The world wearies of war, refugees flee Europe and spy paranoia reigns. Lily tries to ignore the world's problems as she grapples with her own: she lies, cheats, sneaks, is lazy, disobedident and dishonest. Most of all with herself. But her shoddy little world is forced open when Poppy ships out overseas and she meets Albert, a Hungarian refugee staying with neighbors in a similar beach house. Their adult-arranged friendship almost backfires when Lily decides to ignore him; but her own unreasonable resistance is worn away when they rescue a drowning kitten. Lily learns how dangerous her web of lies can prove, when Albert seems to believe her boast about reaching a troop transport for a free trip to war-ravaged Europe. Will she ever recognize the error of lying and being so utterly selfish? Both children yearn to reunite their families but are unrealistic in their schemes. The author, however, leaves us with the hope that the price of defending Democracy and loved ones at home is worth all the personal sacrifice, of adutls and children alike. She reminds us that a mother's love lives on in the heart; and the need to treasure our grandparents who have lived and suffered long years before our birth. This is a serious book about a girl's abrupt coming of age, which will remind readers how the War affected millions of lives right here in America. (More cultural history than news broadcasts.) She depicts the world that our men and women went off to preserve for us all.
