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.

[10 and up. Adults should sneak a peek too.]

Comment

"...Giff really pulls readers' heartstrings with Albert's memories

of his family, the loss of Margaret's well-liked brother in the

war, and Lily's joyful reunion with Poppy. Pull out the hankies for

the final scene, in which Lily returns to Rockaway the following

summer to find Albert--and Ruth--waiting for her. It's a strong

ending to a deftly told story."

Kirkus Reviews

From Booklist

~Gr. 5^-8. With wry comedy and intense feeling, and without

intrusive historical detail, Giff gets across a strong sense of

what it was like on the home front during World War II. Lily makes

up stories about her involvement with spies, submarines, and

anti-Nazi plots in her small seaside town in 1944, but underlying

her melodrama and lies is grief for her dead mother. When Lily's

father has to leave to fight in France, she is so hurt and furious

that she refuses even to say good-bye to him. As she gets to know

Albert, an orphaned Hungarian refugee, she learns about his secret

anguish: he is guilt-stricken about the younger sister he left

behind (he, also, didn't say good-bye), and he is determined,

somehow, to cross the ocean and find her. The happy ending, when

Lily's father finds Albert's sister in France, is too contrived,

but the reunion scenes at home are heartbreaking. The friendship

story is beautifully drawn: both Lily and Albert are wary,

reluctant, and needy; they quarrel as much as they bond, and in the

end, they help each other to be brave.

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-7. Set during World War II, this tenderly written story

tells of the war's impact on two children, one an American and one

a Hungarian refugee. Lily Mollahan, a spirited, sensitive youngster

being raised by her grandmother and Poppy, her widower father, has

a comfortable routine that includes the family's annual summer

migration to Gram's beach house in Rockaway, NY. Lily looks forward

to summer's freedom and fishing outings with Poppy. She meets

Albert, a Hungarian boy who is staying at a neighbor's house. At

first, her fertile imagination convinces her that perhaps Albert is

a Nazi spy, but eventually the two become good friends. The war

interferes directly with Lily's life when Poppy, an engineer, is

sent to Europe to help with clean-up operations. History is brought

to life through Giff's well chosen details and de*ions. Both

children suffer from the separation from loved ones, and both live

with guilt for not having said proper good-byes. Albert even feels

that he in some ways betrayed his sister Ruth, who was too ill to

make the transatlantic journey. The developing friendship between

Lily and Albert, and Albert's plan to swim to Europe to find Ruth,

will grab readers' attention and sustain it to book's end. Despite

convenient plot twists to reach a happy ending, Giff's well-drawn,

believable characters and vivid prose style make this an excellent

choice. A fine addition to collections that include Sonia Levitin's

Silver Days (Atheneum, 1989).?Renee Steinberg, Fieldstone Middle
