The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry

4.0

---

It was a cute book and I’m glad I listened to it. I had no idea about the Pied Piper movement in England as part of World War II and it’s both delightful how community came together and heartbreaking when the placements didn’t work out well or families were never reunited. There’s so much to address in this book by beginning with how sweetly Harry stepped up for Flora and Hazel right along w his mom then how their mom was welcomed to give them a great support system. I love how stories are powerful in this novel

Without giving anything away, I thought the twist in the book seemed a little unlikely and seemed a little too convenient so that’s why it’s not a five stars
