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
