![]() ![]() They’re each unique and handle the hardships of wartime and being orphaned in their own way.Īlthough this book is set during WWII, it is far from dreary. First off, the kids have such robust, dynamic personalities. ![]() I’ve seen people describe this book as cozy, like a warm cup of tea and buttered toast, a hug for the heart - and you know what? Yes, yes, and yes. Through it all, the children take solace in each other, stories from William about their parents, and their love of books and the town library. The first family has twin boys that are just horrid and the second family is too poor (and could care less about them besides the money she’s paid to look after them). In their new countryside dwelling, the kids are placed with several poorly matched families. The kids are instructed not to disclose how well off their family is until they’re placed with a new family that feels like a forever family. Orphans William, Edmund, and Anna (aged 12, 11, and 9) are evacuated after their (not nice) grandmother dies. Kate Albus’s debut middle-grade book, A Place to Hang the Moon follows three orphaned kids in England during the WWII evacuation. ![]()
