This is quintessential middle grade historical fiction. Set in London during the early parts of WWII, Anna, Edmund, and William have been evacuated to a village in the country to wait out the war in safer conditions. The three children are moved from one family to another and are looking for their forever home (their parents are dead and their grandmother has just died) but just can't seem to find the kindness that their hearts have been looking for. They seek comfort in books and in the village library. The the librarian is so wonderful and kind. This is beautiful and heart-warming, a quick read, a great look at a historical aspect of WWII that students might not know about (evacuation and fostering of children), and also a love letter to books and librarians. Loved it. Perfect for fans of Jennifer Nielsen and Kimberly Brubaker Bradley.
