School is out, and Lily goes to her Grandma's beach house in Rockaway every summer. But in 1944, World War II is going on. Once lily gets to Rockaway, her only friend Margaret tells her she is moving to a war factory. Lily is really upset, but to make matters worst, her father has to go overseas to help in the war. Then Lily meets a boy named Albert and they become best friends. Albert is a refugee, and has lost most of his family. Albert is staying wit hhis cousins, the Orbans, who live next door to Lily's Grandma's house. When Lily teaches Albert how to swim, he wants to go back to France to go find his sister Ruth, and Lily said that he could! One afternoon Albert tries to swim, and almost drowns. Once summer is close to an end they say googd-bye to each other. Then Lily's dad comes home. They all go eat at the Orbans, and Albert and Ruth are there to greet them!
I would reccomend this book to everyone. This book was very, very suspenseful, and easy to comprehend. I never wanted to stop reading. This was one of my favorite books. I loved it!
Book Review: Lily's Crossing seems almost REAL!
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put this book down! It seemed so realistic and it was very emotional. You can almost see Lily if you are really into the book! I loved this book! You should read it if you are into the value of friendship. It takes place during 1944-1945, during World War II, which has a deep effect on the book and its outcome! READ IT!!!
