Growing up in the
shadows cast by two world wars, Annabelle has lived a mostly quiet,
steady life in her small Pennsylvania town. Until the day new student
Betty Glengarry walks into her class. Betty quickly reveals herself to
be cruel and manipulative, and while her bullying seems isolated at
first, things quickly escalate, and reclusive World War I veteran Toby
becomes a target of her attacks. While others have always seen Toby’s
strangeness, Annabelle knows only kindness. She will soon need to find
the courage to stand as a lone voice of justice as tensions mount.
Soooooo...
I didn't add a review of this book. I do remember being taken in by the writing and the characters. The story is sweet, profound and strong. I would have loved to read this one to my kids.
