Escape from Shangri-La

(4) 4-6 Cessie has just begun to know her long-absent grandfather when Popsicle, as he is called, is placed in a nursing home. The eleven-year-old helps Popsicle escape from the nursing home and sail to France to find the woman who saved him when he participated in the evacuation of Dunkirk. The two aspects of the novel--the family story and Popsicle's memories of war--never quite coalesce.
