(2) 4-6 Henry's neighbor Grace is grieving over her great-aunt Dottie's impending death. Dottie's long-lost love was an R.A.F. airman in World War II, and Henry sees him and relives bits of his life. With a strong sense of place, well-drawn characters, and an intriguing ghost story, this has much appeal, not least a subtle resonance among boyhood, youth, and old age.
