💙💜🩵 “There was a single trail of footprints, the first I‘d seen all morning. Small feet. Like mine. Then they stopped.”

A beautifully told story with mystery and purposeful serendipity of 2 souls connecting through a fragile ‘time slip‘ amid the nautical twilight of Sweden nights.

Oh man, looks like people have been sleeping on this one… wake up, ya‘ll, it‘s good!

Seriously though… The Sky Over Rebecca tells the story of Kara Lukas who helps a Jewish refugee and her brother escape the Nazis. The twist is that Kara lives in modern day Stockholm and the island on Lake Malaren near where she lives, where the refugees are hiding, is like (to use a Sai King term) a Thinny. Not perfect but definitely worth some love.

BC_Dittemore P.S. It is with a melancholy heart that I admit this might be the last middle grade novel I read. Me and my 5th grade daughter started this at the end of the school year. Summer got busy, we never finished it, and now she has started 6th grade. And so I had to finish the book by myself. She says she still wants to read together, but life is busier now. She‘s gonna have more homework, I‘m too exhausted to function at the end of the night… 3mo
