Lily’s Crossing

Giff Reilly, Patricia. Lily’s Crossing. NY: Yearling Books, 1999. 208 pages.

This is a story about four main characters Lily, Albert, Grandma, and Dad. This all takes place during World War II on a beach in Rockaway. Lily is faced with a problem her friend is going work for her father in Michigan. Lily’s father is also thinking of fighting in the war in France. Albert, Lily’s new friend, has left his sick sister in Europe. Lily and Albert solve their problems by try going to France in a rowboat. That really didn’t work out so when the war ended they sent letters to his family members. Read this book to see how it ended.

If I were to describe this book in ten or more words it would be dry but kind of interesting in a way. There was really nothing there to keep my from reading on to further chapters or even finishing the book…There were so many times I wanted to put the book down, but since I didn’t have time to start another book, I read on.
