Now that I've read this for a second time, I can say that this is definitely 3 stars instead of 5. I don't know why I loved this book SOOO much. I mean, it's still good. But not like, amazing type good. It's just plain good. So yeah. The Willoughbys is definitely Lois's best novel.

This is another one I read for work this year (teaching 6th grade English), and I enjoyed this one a lot. It tells the story of the brave who fought back against the nazi’s, and about friendship that conquers everything. I’m excited to teach this book this year and can’t wait to see what my students have to say about it!
