Lily's Crossing
Patricia Reilly Giff
The summer of 1944 is one of big changes for Lily. Her father goes to war, her best friend moves, and Lily meets Albert, who is different from any friend she's ever known.
Start thinking:
One of Lily's worst problems is her tendency to lie. Why does Lily continue to lie when part of her wants to tell the truth? How and when does she finally overcome this bad habit?
Both Lily and Albert have lost parents, but each still has the love of a family. Can you describe the various relationships in Lily's family? How does Lily's relationship with Gram change at the end of the book? How does Albert gain a sense of family from Mr. And Mrs. Orban?
Lily and Albert must each face loss and separation. How do they each deal with these feelings? Do they help one another?
