Giff, Patricia Reilly._Lily's crossing_,1997 [0-385-32142-2]
This is a warm story about the friendship of two children in the US
during World War II.  Lily's best girl friend moves away because of
the war and she ends up living with her grandmother because her
father is sent off to war. She meets a Hungarian refugee, Albert and
convinces him that she is going to row out in the ocean and swim
to a ship which will take her to Europe where her father has been
sent.  She agrees to teach him to swim so he can join her and a
friendship develops which is based on this lie of an adventure which
she never intended to take.  This 180 page book is a touching story
about friendship and people learning to cope with their country
being at war.
