Could the mass wartime evacuation of children from London to the countryside be the answer?Its a preposterous plan, but off they go-- keeping their predicament a secret, and hoping to be placed in a temporary home that ends up lasting forever. Moving from one billet to another, the children suffer the cruel trickery of foster brothers, the cold realities of outdoor toilets and the hollowness of empty stomachs.But at least they find comfort in the village lending library-- a cozy shelter from the harshness of everyday life, filled with favorite stories and the quiet company of Nora M ller, the kind librarian. The children wonder if Nora could be the family theyve been searching for. . . . But the shadow of the war, and the unknown whereaouts of Noras German husband complicate matters.A Place to Hang the Moon is a story about the importance of family- the one youre given, and the one you choose. Filled with rich, sensory prose, allusions to classic childrens stories like A Little Princess, Mary Poppins, and The Story of Ferdinand, this cozy tale with a classic feel is sure to warm your heart.
