Customer Reviews

A very nice story.

This is another in the American Girls Short Stories series about Molly McIntire, a nine-year-old girl living on the home front during World War 2. It is 1944, and Molly and her family all find their lives turned upside down. This year, when Molly goes to visit her grandparents' farm, she must go alone, as the rest of her family have new responsibilities. Worse, Molly's wonderful aunt Eleanor is joining the WASPs (Women's Airforce Service Pilots), and will be away too. Molly feels that her whole life is being torn apart.My daughter and I both liked this book. Especially interesting was the final chapter, which gave a great deal of information on the WASPs, and their contribution to the American war effort. As an added bonus, the book contains instructions on making a simple stargazer.
