INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Carelli, Anne O'Brien

Skylark and Wallcreeper

(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Lily helps to evacuate her granny from a nursing home during Hurricane Sandy and, in the chaos, loses Granny's old Montblanc pen. Lily's search for the pen in post-storm New York alternates with flashbacks to Granny's activities in the French Resistance during WWII. Carelli provides an interesting juxtaposition of different types of danger and valor across the decades.
