Lily’s Crossing
by Patricia Reilly Giff is a work of fiction about the life of one young girl
living in New York during World War II. Elizabeth Mollahan, commonly called
Lily by her family and friends, is expecting the normal lazy summer spent in
Rockaway with her best friend, Margret Dillon. But in the summer of 1944, war
is raging hot and strong in Europe and it is set on changing twelve-year-old  Lily’s life more then she had ever
dreamed.

When Margret
leaves with her family to help with the war effort by working in a factory that
makes planes, Lily is left all alone, her summer ruined. But then she meets the
mysterious Hungarian boy Albert, who has secrets sown into his coat and acts
suspiciously like a spy. However, Lily helps him save and care for a kitten and
they slowly  build an unbreakable
friendship.

But Lily is a
liar. And she has told a lie that could cost them both their friendship and
Albert’s life. Will she be able to mend web this lie has woven in time? Or will
Albert blindly follow it to his death?

I’ve read this
book countless times throughout my childhood and each time it never failed to
please.  It is a timeless classic
that I think I will always treasure. I highly recommend it to children and
adults of all ages.
