This book is part of the My Story series and it is about a 12 year old girl called Lillian. Lillian lives with her Mum and Sister Joyce in Auckland, 1941.
lillian's Dad is a soldier fighting in Africa in World War 2. When Lillian develops TB (tuber-culocious) she and her sister are sent away to live with their grandparents on their farm in a little town called Warkworth so Lillian can get better in the fresh country air.
Joyce starts work on the farm and Lillian starts school. Over the next few weeks the town gets a big surprise. The Marines from America are setting up their camp in the middle of Warkworth. When two marines arrive at the farmhouse door they become friends. When out of the blue, all of the marines are suddenly shipped off to fight and something terrible happens!!
Read the story to find out.
I would rate this book for ages 10 and up, and I would score it a 4/5.
