INTERMEDIATE FICTION

Genevieve's War

(2) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Genevieve is staying with her stern grandmother, Mémé, in Alsace when France falls to the Nazis. Much of the interest here comes from the setting, an area where residents are a mix of people with German and French names and loyalties. Like Giff's Lily's Crossing, this story makes the human dynamics of World War II engaging and understandable to middle graders.
