Brave Emily (American Girl)
Grade 2–4—Emily is a third grader from London who has been sent to stay with her American friend, Molly, during World War II. Molly helps Emily overcome her shyness and find a way to aid people back home. This is a companion to the "Molly" books (American Girl), and, with its well-paced plot and likable characters, it's an interesting addition to that series. A concluding chapter includes photographs and anecdotes about English children during the period and expands on Emily's story. Lovers of the "American Girl" series can add an English lass to their list.—Krista Tokarz, Cuyahoga County Public Library, OHCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
