(3) 4-6 A school assignment prompts nine-year-old Isabelle to write a letter to her deceased father and inspires her to write to him and other, living, relatives for the next several years. Isabelle chronicles everyday life during World War II and the scandal of her Protestant mother's remarriage to a Catholic doctor. Some letters are redundant, but the epistolary format is a nice alternative to diary books.
