The Summer We Found the Baby















This was quite the interesting book - historical and a bit of a mystery as well.  It starts out on the morning of a new children's library dedication and Julie and her sister Martha find a baby on the library steps.  Julie, who would love a new baby sister, picks up the baby and starts to take her to a nearby army base.  Bruno, a former best friend, sees this and follows.  Then the story goes back to events leading up to that and we hear Julie, Martha, and Bruno's take on different things.  Everything is revealed in bits and pieces until it all becomes clear in the end.  It is an interesting bit of storytelling and I can see teachers working with students to dissect it.  I enjoyed it.
