A Place To Hang the Moon

Get yourself a comfy place to read and hunker down with this heartwarming story set during WWII outside of London. Three siblings who had lost their parents years ago, recently also lost their guardian - their mean grandmother.  Their lawyer suggests that they use the evacuation to possibly find a new family who will agree to take them not only for the time-being but for always.  Unfortunately, the families they are placed with are less than ideal.  They find comfort and solace in their local library and its librarian, Mrs. Muller. The story immediately reminded me of The War That Saved My Life (Bradley) in that it was about London children evacuated to the countryside prior to the inevitable bombing of London by the Nazis.  However, it was unique enough to keep me interested. (FIC ALB)
