I am reviewing a copy of War and Millie McGongile through Random House Children’s/Knopf Books for Young Readers and Netgalley:
Millie McConigle lives in sunny California , her days are filled with beach and surf, it should be perfect, but it’s far from it. Hitler is attacking Europe and it looks like the United States may be going to war. Food is rationed and money is tight. Her little sister who is sickly gets all the attention, and she couldn’t be more of a pain if she tried. It takes everything for Millie to stay calm and in control and often she doesn’t.
But there is sand beneath her feet A new neighbor from the city, who has a lot to teach Millie. And surfer boy Rocky to admire even if she doesn't have the guts to talk to him so life is pretty good if not perfect.
This is a time of sunshine, siblings but also of stress. Will Millie find a way to keep her balance as the world looses its balance?
I give War and Willie McCongile five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
