Molly McIntire is my favorite out of all the American Girls. I have read all six of her books, but I liked this one the best. Molly must have missed her father very much while he was away because of the war. But at least she had her mother, her sister, and her two brothers. (even if her brothers could sometimes be annoying)

I thought this book was great I am an American Girl fan. It was so much fun reading this it took me 2 1/2 hours to read!(including breaks!)It is really fun,cute and best of all it captures all of the best childhood!I would read it again!

It's 1944 and the world is at war.For Molly McIntire, life seems full of change. Her father is far away caring for wounded soldiers. Her mother is busy working for the Red Cross. Mrs. Gilford, the housekeeper,makes her eat terrible things like turnips from the Victory garden. And everyone in America is so serious and practical that glamorous Halloween costumes are hard to get. Molly's special hula skirt is a huge success-until Ricky,her pesty brother, plays a mean trick. Molly and her friends are determined to get back at him. One mean trick leads to another until the fighting goes too far.
