Book Review: lilys crossing
Summary: 5 Stars
Lily's crossing is a great book it was really catchy book that made me interested and made me not wont to put it down. I would really recommend it to anyone young or old because it is easy to understand and it is not boring for adults. In this book a girl named lily has to move to a town called rockaway every summer because of the war. she goes out there and her only friend there has to move so she has no one else so she is really sad and she thought to her self at least she has her dad but then he has to leave also so all she has is her grandma that is a typical grandma that makes you play the piano and do chores over summer. Then there is a boy that moves in and he lies to lily and lily tells a lie that might make Albert lose his life.

Summary: 1 Stars
This book is about a girl in world war 2. she lives with her dad and her grandmother. Her mom died with a caring heart. Over her summer breaks she goes to rockaway her summer place. But this summer going to be different. Her dad leaves to work in a factory her friend maragert moves to detroit until the wars over. this girls name is lily. But something happens her family friend the orbans there nephew from france came to stay with the orbans. lily and albert (nephew) dont get along at first but become friends.lily teaches albert how to swim and other things and albert during the story helps lily not to lie. that was lilys goal this summer to stop lying. 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.Book Review: wonderful ending!
Summary: 3 Stars
Lily's Crossing takes place during World War II, in the summer of 1944. Lily Mollahan, lives with her father and grandmother, in the town of St. Albans. In the past summers, Lily has gone to her house on the beach in Rockaway, to have fun all summer with her best friend Margaret; but when Margaret's brother Eddie goes off to fight in the war, and her father and family move to a wartime factory town, Lily is left friendless for the summer.
Lily is convinced the summer will be ruined when she finds out her poppy is going off to fight in the war, and without Margaret there to comfort her. But when she forms a very close friendship with a boy named Albert, a refugee from Hungary, both their lies makes this summer one they will never forget.
Lily's crossing was an O.K book with a wonderful ending. I really thought the author did a great job pulling the book together and making the book worth reading. I wouldn't recommend reading this book for fun, but if you're interested in a decent war book with a very satisfying ending, Lily's Crossing is the book for you!
Book Review: ~The Best Yet~
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of the best books i have ever read, because it is fun to see what is going to happen next, but also it teaches you what it was like to be alive during a war. I think this is a good book for kids between the ages of 10-13
