Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly Giff
3.0
I've been reading books that give me a perspective on the Holocaust for the purpose of a lit-circle like unit. I expected this book to be one.
It was to a certain extent. It's based in the US, but one of the boys that Lily spends time with is a refugee from France, who has escaped to protect himself. Additionally, Lily's father and her neighbors are busy with work related to the war. It's really about Lily growing up, becoming more caring, courageous, and cautious while also becoming less selfish and self-centered. It's a good story, but I didn't feel anything special in it. I wasn't drawn in as I wanted to be.
