I couldn't put this book down! It seemed so realistic and it was very emotional. You can almost see Lily if you are really into the book! I loved this book! You should read it if you are into the value of friendship. It takes place during 1944-1945, during World War II, which has a deep effect on the book and its outcome! READ IT!!!

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.

This is an endless story in the 1940's, starting out with a girl named Lily. It was so well written I couldn't put it down! About a 10 year old girl who is daring and adventurous. She puts up with a lot throughout her childhood. This is all happening while WWII is going on. Lily is a very outstanding person. I learned a lot from this book, and I hope you will too. I hope you make the right choice, and read this book!
