I just now realized that I'm not sure what the title is about . . . good thing we're discussing it at 7th grade book club tomorrow. Lily goes to Rockaway for the summer and is dismayed to learn that her best friend's family is moving to another state and her father is joining the war effort. She does not get along well with her grandmother. What looks to be a miserable summer is transformed by Albert, a cat, and some revelations about telling the truth.
This book felt very, very young to me. It was good, but seemed geared to upper elementary kids.
