This book was also very interesting because it had alot of description like the last book, Looking At the Moon. There is a sad part in this book but you will have to read it to find out what it is.
gavin has a very difficult decision to make. i lived in england from 1948-1953. we were very poor and hungry. we didn't have a bathtub. we had to walk to the grocery shops everyday with our ration book and stand in line at every store and take what was available. when we moved to canada i couldn't believe the grocery stores and buses and milkshakes!
