I think every 4th grader should read “Our Castle By The Sea” by Lucy Strange. It is historical fiction and is set in World War II. It is about a girl named Petra who lives in a lighthouse that is on a cliff by the sea. Her family is German, and at the time the British were worried about German people being spies so her mother might end up being sent away. Her older sister Magda was acting very strangely and so was her father. She tries to figure out why and finds a few clues. All of a sudden, her family starts to fall apart, and Petra feels like she should become part of the cliff under her lighthouse’s legend. The legend of the Daughters Stone. I am recommending this book because, when I read it I never wanted to put it down, and I ended up learning a lot about World War II. I liked how there were cliff hangers because it makes you want to keep reading, Lots of nights my mom would tell me to go to bed because I would be reading super late! I also liked how you felt like you really knew the characters and cared about them and their decisions. That is why I am recommending this book to you. Recommended by S. G.
