Okay... anyone who knows mw well knows that this is NOT a usual book I will pick up. I am not the sappy book type! (Unlesss this is a Nicholas Sparks book ,that has Ryan Gosling in the movie.) I have to say fighting with my mother in Barnes and Nobles was definately in retrospect not necessary, I am addicted to this book!
I love this book because Felicity (Fliss) is set on a mysterious stay at her Uncle's house. On her stay she meets her Aunt Miami, The Gram (her grandmother), and Uncle Bathburn, and Captain Derek. For weeks Fliss has not seen or heard Captain Derek since she has arrived at the house, except for the crumbs left on the cookie plate in the morning...
When Fliss finally meets this Captain Derek she finally realizes, he is her age! Derek dreams of fighting in the current war (World War Two) but has been struck with polio that has paralyzed his arm. Feeling self concious, he has been bed ridden in agaony. However, she has been getting coded messages frim her dad, not to her but her Uncle! Fliss uses Derek to try and break the code...
For my creative point I have decided to make a mini dictionary because Fliss is from Britian and moves to Maine and I have learned alot of British vocabulary!
