About This Book
Elizabeth Mollahan--the Lily of Lily's Crossing--lost her mom when she
was little. Her father and a grandmother are her only family. Every
summer the three of them flee sweaty New York City for a beach house in
New York's Rockaways. This year though, Lily's father announces that
he's enlisted in the Army; days later, he is gone. Alone with her
grandmother, Lily sees a long lonely summer ahead. And then, Albert
appears. A refugee from the Nazis, his family thrown to the winds, young
Albert bears a grief and sadness of his own.
It's a pleasure to read along as Lily and Albert negotiate the pain they
feel and the secrets and adventures they share. With subtlety and
compassion, this gift of a book reminds us that wars happen to children,
too.
