A very moving and involving novel about friendship with a unique setting--1930s upstate New York. The book is divided into two parts. The first, a standard YA novel of friendship, the second, an exchange of letters that are increasingly heartbreaking. This book accurately shows what adolescent friendship can be, and how those once close can grow so far apart. no reviews | add a review

The most important part, I'd say is the correspondence between the two girls after Elisa's family goes back to Germany, which isn't until the second section, and by then the book is almost over. Page 177, that's when the book starts getting interesting and you actually get a feel for what is going on. That's over three quarters of the way into the book!
I would not suggest reading this. In fact I'd almost consider this book a waste of paper, and I never thought I'd say that about any book. Save yourself the trouble. If you don't have to read it, don't waste your time. ( )
