(4) 4-6 During World War II, Ellie's beloved big brother is drafted. She's crushed but relies on the letters he writes home in order to stay connected. It's little consolation when Ellie's larger-than-life aunt Toots comes to stay "for the duration." Though the copious period details are awkwardly incorporated, the book does provide a strong sense of time and place.
