As in past years, Lily will spend the summer in Rockaway, in her family's summer house by the Atlantic Ocean. But this summer of 1914, World Warr II has changed everyone's life. Lily's best friend, Margaret, has moved to a wartime factory town, and, much worse, Lily's father is going overseas to the war.
There's no one Lily's age in Rockaway until the arrival of Albert, a refugee from Hungary with a secret sewn into his coat. Albert has lost most of his family in the war; he's been through things Lily can't imagine. But soon they form a special friendship. Now Lily and Albert have secrets to share: They both have told lies, and Lily has told one that may cost Albert his life.
Review:
"Both evocative and provocative, this gentle novel presents the ripples of world war in a child-sized way."
Susan Faust, San Francisco Book Review, 05/25/1997
Review:"The sensitive characterizations are true to a ten-year-old point of view, and the personalities of Lily and Albert and even the distant Margaret are clearly presented....This is a fine piece of historical fiction that evokes a time and place without sacrificing or taking advantage of its characters' emotional lives."
Janice M. Del Negro, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, April 1997
