Middle Grade Historical Fiction

This is a historical fiction middle grade. This book we follow a young girl named Millie, and this book take places during WWII. This book gives us a kids view of the USA during WWII. I found most of this book very neat, but some of the book was boring or just weird. I also do not think my daughter would want to read this book. Overall, I found this book just ok. I did find the characters fun to follow. I receive an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
