Ellen: Book #2



Picking up where the first book left off, we find Ellen in Depression era Vancouver. News of the war in Europe is adding to everyone's woes, but Ellen's circumstances are looking brighter. Her father has gotten a good office job, and her deepening friendship with her next-door neighbour Amy, a Canadian girl of Japanese descent, relieves the loneliness of living in a new town. Then Japan becomes a hostile aggressor in the war and Ellen discovers that war affects everyone, including children, even thousands of miles away.
