Summary: "Trading Places" during the Blitz.
Comment: It's the early years of WWII, and the Nazi war machine is about to unleash its fury on England. In order to protect their children from harm, thousands of Londoners are sending their children to the country or, if they can afford it, out of England entirely. Two orphan girls meet in a embarkation area. One girl is from an affluent family and is being sent to Canada; the other, who is from a working class background, is being sent to the country. They are both the same age, look similar to each other, and have no parents. The rich girl decides that she doesn't want to go to Canada, and strikes a deal with the poor girl to switch clothes, destinations, and identities for the duration of the war. Of course, neither of them know that the war will last for six years.
The rich girl assumes the life of her poorer counterpart, and discovers a world very different from that of her own upbringing. The war ends, and she is a completly different person than she was six years earlier. Will she ever be able to go back to her former life of privilege and wealth? And, more poignantly, will the girl who has assumed her identity for six years be willing to give back that life to her and return to the working class?

Summary: Searching for Shona is a great funfilled book.
Comment: My book is called Searching for Shona, and I loved it. I liked it because it was adventurous, and full of excitement. I would recommend this to anyone who likes books that are packed with action and excitement. This book taught me a lesson about friendship. It taught me that friends would actually change places in life to make themselves happy. I hope that you readers out there choose this book as your number 1 book.
