 What I think about the book. I like this book a lot.

 What it says on the back:
It’s 1944 and the world is at war.  For Molly McIntire, life seems full of change.  Her father is far away caring for wounded soldiers.  Her mother is busy working for the Red Cross.  Mrs. Gilford, the strict housekeeper, makes her eat terrible things like turnips from the Victory garden.  And everyone in America is so serious and practical that glamorous Halloween costumes are hard to get.  Molly’s special hula skirt is a huge success until Ricky, her pesky big brother plays a mean trick.  Molly and her friends are determined to get back at him.  One mean trick leads to another until the fighting goes too far. 

 I would recommend it for ages 8 and up

 Enjoy,

  Amanda
