Once again, Lily is going to spend her summer in Rockaway, were her 
family's summerhouse is next to the Atlantic ocean. This year is going to be different though because Word War II is effecting everyone. Including Lily's best friend, Margaret, she had to relocate to a war time factory town. And just when things couldn't have gotten any worse, or so she thought, her father is now going overseas to fight in the War. "Now what am i going to do all summer," Lily thought, "her there isn't anyone my age to hang out with." But there was one upside to her summer, Margaret had given her the house key so she could go in whenever she wanted to! There was also some one different in town this year, a boy around her age, named Albert, who is a refugee from Hungary. Most of Albert's family have died, and the only other person left besides him would be his little sister who had to stay beck because of how ill she was. When Lily and Albert finally get to know each other Lily goes off lying of how she would be able to climb aboard a war ship to go find her father, and now Albert wants to come ,too. Lily was just acting brave, she didn't know what she was saying, but Albert still believed her. So when she said that they wouldn't be able to go, she meant it. But he just thought that she was a trader and didn't want him to come along. When she realized though on a stormy night that he was going to go anyway in a little rowboat, she went after him like a mad dog! Unsure if she would return she left a note on the table that read;"Dear Gram(a.k.a. grandma) I love You." Finally she had almost caught up
with him when a huge wave came over him and crushed the boat into little pieces.... but where did Albert go... all of a sudden she saw his head poke up through the black night time waters, she started rowing frantically again. Finally, she got him into the boat, and paddled quickly back to her cabin, that looked as if were on stilts.

Lily made a promise to herself that she would never tell another lie again. By the next summer, everything was back to its normal way, Margaret was back this summer.... but Albert was gone... or so it seemed. The night that they got back at Rockaway, her family went over to the Orbans' place, and to her surprise Albert was there, but he wasn't there alone, he had brought his little sister with him.... THE END!!!
