War and Millie McGonigle

Millie McGonigle lives in sunny California, where her days are filled with beach and surf. It should be perfectbut times are tough. Hitler is attacking Europe and it looks like the United States may be going to war. Food is rationed and money is tight. And Millies sickly little sister gets all the attention and couldnt be more of a pain if she tried. Its all Millie can do to stay calm and feel in control.

Stilltheres sand beneath her feet. A new neighbor from the city, who has alotto teach Millie. And surfer boy Rocky to admireeven if she doesnt have the guts to talk to him.

Its a time of sunshine, siblings, and stress. Will Millie be able to find her way in her family, and keep her balance as the the world around her loses its own?
