The book I read was The Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages. It was published by Penguin Group in 2006. There are 318 pages of the story, and it is set from 1943 to 1945 during WWII. Although The Green Glass Sea is a fictional book, the setting and historical events are not. All of the main characters and their friends/family are fictional. This is a book about two girls who move to an army base with their parents during the war. They don't know each other at first, but they know of each other. It tells how they met and their adventures together on their way to being great friends. The first main character you are introduced to is 10 year old Dewey Kerrigan. Dewey is an only child and has a father, but no mother. She doesn't like to play with

It was a unique and interesting story of an unexpected friendship. There wasn't anything I didn't really like. I did like how there were small science facts all throughout the book. This was because Suze's parents and Dewey's father were all scientists. "First lesson. Greek letters mean one thing if you're actually talking in Greek, and something else if you're talking math (P. 83)." "It’s called tuff. It’s volcanic ash compressed for thousands of years, and it’s pretty soft (P. 121)." I would definitely recommend this book to others. It is an exciting story that has an interesting plot. There are many surprises that reveal themselves throughout the book, such as the friendship that forms between Dewey and Suze. It is also a good book for people that like to see different sides of the same story. This is because the story is told from both Dewey's and Suze's perspective. I really liked The Green Glass Sea because it gave a point of view from two different people (Dewey and Suze) on what the other person was like. Each person got to describe what they thought, and it was mostly about the same situations. I also liked it because it was unlike any book I've ever read before. Specifically, I’ve never read anything about WWII. Since this is the first book to a series, I am looking forward to reading the next
