Lily's Crossing By: Patrica Reilly Giff
ISBN: 0-440-41453-9
Summer Finally, back to Rockaway, back to the house on Stilts, back to the Atlantic Ocean.
Lily, her father, and her grandmother lived during World War II. Many people, including Lily's father, had to go to France to help in the war. Lily and her grandma went to Rockaway but it was different. Magret was gone and the Orbans had a boy named Albert from Hungry at their house. Lily was supposed to be his friend.
This book was really good. I found it interesting because I enjoy this type of genre. Its interesting to learn about things that people have had to go through in the past. A lot of people would enjoy this book because there is a lot going on. There was never a dull moment. It was a page-turner because one event would lead to another and you just have to know what happens.
Book Review: Lily's Crossing
Summary: 5 Stars
Lily's Crossing is a great book. One of the reasons why I liked it was that it had good voice. It had such good voice that when Poppy came home I cried out loud as I read. I also liked the book because I like historical fiction. The events that happened in the book could have happened in history in 1942. Also, it was about an immigrant from Hungary whose sister is in France with the Nazis. I loved Lily's Crossing because I never knew what would happen next, because of the way the problem was set up. The probem is Lily tells Albert she can take him to Europe. I didn't know what she was going to do. I kept guessing until the answer was revealed towards the end of the book. So, in conclusion, I would give the book five stars.Book Review: Lily's Crossing
Summary: 3 Stars
Set during World War II, Lily, her father and grandmother leave New York City for their summer home in the Rockaways. A few days after arriving, Lily's Dad tells her that he has enlisted in the army and is leaving the next morning. Lily faces the prospect of a lonely summer, until Albert, a Hungarian refugee, moves in next door. The two children rescue a kitten from the sea and Lily teaches Albert how to swim.
Ultimately the book is about friendship through good and bad times. A bit-slow paced, I had trouble getting into the story. I thought the children appeared extremely young for their age and the times. Overall, I was a bit disappointed and would only rate this book a three out of five.

The book Lily's Crossing is a historical book. The main character is Lily. This book is a little sad but then has a wonderful ending. This book is about a girl (Lily) who meets a boy named Albert who comes from a different country. Lily's dad has to go to war as an engineer. Her best friend has to move away because her dad is going to war as an engineer to. Lily is very lonely until she meets the boy named Albert. Lily spends most of her time hanging out with Albert and teaching him how to swim. When Albert finally learns how to swim Lily promises him that they will go to Europe to find his sister. It is a lie but at least it comforts him a little bit. Albert is determined to go to Europe. When he finally has enough courage to go in a tiny little boat a storm comes. The storm is so powerful it knocks Albert out of the boat. Will Lily be able to save him?
I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book to any one who likes exciting stories. I liked this book so much I didn't want it to end.
