Lily's Crossing

Lily's Crossing | Patricia Reilly Giff

I read these two middle grade books for #bookedintime #ww2 . Lily's Crossing was about a girl in America who's father leaves for France. While he's away she meets a refugee from Hungary. White Bird is a graphic novel about a Jewish girl in France who spends the war hiding in the barn of some friends. Both were good! The writing style of White Bird was more appealing; the writing style of Lily's Crossing was a bit dated (1990s).

Cuilin I think I read Lily‘s crossing, the cover and story are very familiar. 2 for WWII ✅🎉 7mo

Two children forge a friendship as they each struggle with separation from family during #WWII. I always enjoy Patricia Reilly Giff‘s stories.

sblbooks @SaturnDoo I found out about MiddlegradeMay by accident they had one last year on Litsy. I searched hashtag middle grade, that's where I found MiddlegradeMay with several posts. I missed that one, because I only joined in December. Glad you're joining us. 5y

I received this book as part of a donation and I wanted to read it before I included it in one of my Heartland Little Free Libraries. This autographed copy was one of my #twentybooksofsummer. Such a quick sweet story of wartime. Much is glossed over of course due to the suggested age of the reader but none the less I enjoyed it and I think younger children would too. Probably recommended for third through fifth or possibly sixth grade.
