Lily’s Crossing
Overview & Summary
During World War II, Lily's usual carefree summer at her family's Long Island beach house is upended by wartime rationing, her father's departure for the war, and her friendship with Albert, a young Hungarian refugee hiding a devastating secret about his missing sister. Patricia Reilly Giff's Newbery Honor novel captures the American home front through the eyes of a girl forced to grow up quickly.
