(4) YA Ellen, fourteen, befriends RAF pilot-in-training Stephen, who is based near her Ontario home. The friendship deepens as Stephen faces the dangers of his vocation and as their families in Canada and England endure the hardships of World War II. Their relationship and the period details in the narrative and in the interspersed letters ring true--unlike the ending, which feels artificial and tacked on.
