This book was lovely, it took me awhile but I can see why it was a good book and all. I really liked France and I appreciate how the other characters are focused in here as well. Of course there are parts where I would dislike this happening to a child but those are different times.

TRULY a classic. I loved learning about what it was like to live in Brooklyn during this era through the lens of a child. Would reread for sure.
