My Secret War Diary by Flossie Albright

143 pp. | Candlewick | November, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-4111-5 $21.99
(4) 4-6 Flossie Albright is nine when WWII interrupts her quiet life in the English countryside, and she responds by documenting her memories in a scrapbook-style diary. Williams incorporates handwritten fonts, foldout notes and letters, photographs, and Flossie's own comical drawings. Though the crowded layout is sometimes hard to navigate, patient readers will be rewarded with a moving personal account of one girl's (read: Williams's) wartime experience. Glos.
