A Place to Hang the Moon
FROM SARAH:
This new middle grade novel, set in WWII London and featuring three orphaned siblings is EASILY one of the best novels I’ve read in a long while. There is the English countryside. And tea. And a mischievous boy named Edmund (yes! Edmund!), siblings who work together to get themselves through a rough patch, and a librarian you will fall in love with. There are bookish references galore.
Read it aloud to all ages (probably 7+ will enjoy it most). Or just read it yourself! It’s an utter delight. Want the RAR Family Book Club Guide to go with it? Join RAR Premium to get it. The Guide will be released 10/1/21. We'll be reading this book through the fall, and meeting Kate Albus herself in a live Zoom in November.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
It is 1940 and William, 12, Edmund, 11, and Anna, 9, aren't terribly upset by the death of the not-so-grandmotherly grandmother who has taken care of them since their parents died. But the children do need a guardian, and in the dark days of World War II London, those are in short supply, especially if they hope to stay together. Could the mass wartime evacuation of children from London to the countryside be the answer?
