I had a hard time putting this book down once I began reading it. Felicity comes from London to Maine with her parents during World War ll and is left with her father's family. She has no idea when her parents will return. She has never met her father's family and although they do their best to make her feel welcome there are also a lot of family secrets. Why has her uncle nailed the piano shut and will no longer play it? Why are these people so cold towards her mother? There are also theseI loved this book. I actually read it because my daughter finished it and said I should and I have to admit, the first several chapters I really didn't want to give it a chance. It just started out so strange. But I kept going and ended up really enjoying it. Not only did I love the story, but the writing style was so unique and fun to me. I love when authors have a clever way of writing.Please just keep in mind, it is a youth book. I've seen criticisms of the cover (no, it doesn't have anything
I know I would have loved this and reread it several times if I'd read it first when I was ten. The things that bother me some now, some inconsistencies and loose ends and crowding of plot, wouldn't have bothered me then.This book's been mentioned as a Newbery contender, but I don't think it's quite there. In particular, Felicity's voice often sounds TOO self-consciously "British". Like an American girl who goes to England with her parents for a week and comes back and wants to impress her
This was a really good book. A british girl goes to live in America with her uncle because her parents are helping children in the World war 2 to escape. Over there, letters arrive for her uncle from portugal and france but she knows it's from her dad. Her uncle does''t let her read them, and snatches it out of her hands so fast. By the time the third letter arrives, She has to figure out what's going on. She teams up with a boy called Derek and they both work together to crack the code.
I found this book charming. It is a story about a young girl who is delivered to her grandmother's home under some suspicious circumstances. Her mom and dad don't seem to be welcomed warmly by her dad's brother or mother and when she is left there, no one tells her why or for how long. She struggles with not being able to talk with her parents and not being able to write to them. She has so many questions and no one wants to tell her anything. During the story, many things pop up to give her
The story is set in Bottlebay, Maine, during WWII. An eleven-year-old girl, Felicity, arrives in Maine from London to stay with her grandmother, aunt, and uncle during the war. She has to cope with the separation from her parents and not being able to communicate with them as well as adjusting to life in America with her relatives whom she just met.Reminds me a little of Summer of My German Soldier since the main characters in both are young girls coming of age during WWII.
