Title/Author: Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly Giff
Historical Time Period: World War II
Brief summary: The story focuses on the girl Lily during World War II. Her, her dad, and grandma always go to Rockaway Beach every summer, but the summer of 1944, her dad is sent to France to help rebuild the country. Her best friend Margaret moved away and the only person her age left is a boy named Albert from Hungary that was taken in by her neighbors. I remember first reading this book when I was in the sixth grade, but the story always stuck with me and I still have it on my shelf. I identified a lot with Lily growing up and I go back and read it whenever I'm feeling nostalgic. It's pretty interesting seeing the WWII from an 11 year old's perspective.
