Looking at the Moon by Kit Pearson
5.0
I always rave and rave about this author but I do it for good reason- the woman understands the emotions of children.
In this case it was Norah, the english "war guest" staying with a rich lady in toronto while war rages in her homeland. This book in the trilogy was set in Norah's favourite island of Gairloch in the Muskoka cottage country. There she can be herself, there she can fall in love.
Although only 13, she's convinced she loves Andrew, the nephew of her "aunt" florence. The story is a very simple one but one that is so chalk-a-block with teenage angst and emotion it was a constant ride.
I would reccomend it to any young girl as it might help them understand that difficult time in life when your not quite a girl and not yet a woman either. I know if I had read this book at that age I would have identified with Norah's shyness, desires and dreams.
