Lily's Crossing

This is one of the best books that I have ever read and believe me I have read alot of books. This book helps you see that people can make friends and that even if people are away they still are in your hearts. I think that is an awesome concept to a book and that alot of people should read it.

This book is very interesting. Everything in the story is so real and lifelike. Lily's adventure is fun and excited. The auther using understanding writing skills to World War 2. If you want to know waht life was really like, read this book. You may understand more about what it was really, in a child's point of view. READ IT!

Lily's Crossing is a great book. One of the reasons why I liked it was that it had good voice. It had such good voice that when Poppy came home I cried out loud as I read. I also liked the book because I like historical fiction. The events that happened in the book could have happened in history in 1942. Also, it was about an immigrant from Hungary whose sister is in France with the Nazis. I loved Lily's Crossing because I never knew what would happen next, because of the way the problem was set up. The probem is Lily tells Albert she can take him to Europe. I didn't know what she was going to do. I kept guessing until the answer was revealed towards the end of the book. So, in conclusion, I would give the book five stars.

Lily's Crossing is a story of friendship. It is World War II and times are difficult. Lily and her grandmother are going to Rockaway Beach for the summer, but little does Lily know that her "Poppy" will not accompany them. He has been asked to help rebuild France. Lily meets a new friend and they go on adventures together. This is an excellent story for historical fiction readers. For teachers, this would be a wonderful story to read when the topic of WWII is being discussed. The language is rich and inviting. Giff keeps you hooked until the end.
