Nine-year-old Beezus Quimby has her hands full with her little sister, Ramona. Old enough to be expected to take responsibility for her little sister, yet young enough to be mortified by every embarrassing plight the precocious preschooler gets them into, Beezus is constantly struggling with her mixed-up feelings about the exasperating Ramona.” The BoxCar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner Longer review to come -- I just didn't want to ruin it for my book club people by pointing out all its faults.There are many novels set in pre-war Berlin but none quite so effective as Ben Elton's Two Brothers. As the title suggests, the author uses the childhood and adolescent lives of two Jewish brothers to tell the story of happiness followed by despair and finally tragedy. The brothers themselves form a Saturday club with the daughter of a wealthy Jewish department store owner and the daughter of the brothers' family cleaner. Four adventurous siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie—step through a wardrobe door and into the land of Narnia, a land frozen in eternal winter and enslaved by the power of the White Witch. But when almost all hope is lost, the return of the Great Lion, Aslan, signals a great change…and a great sacrifice.” Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder I Love You Like A Hobbit Loves Second Breakfast Two Tone Coffee Mug | Comical Gift For That Special Someone

And whereas Elton shows how the unique situation post-WWI Germany was in allowed Hitler and his ilk to 'take' the minds and hearts of the populace he also shows how easily it could happen in any country you care to name, which is a very sobering lesson.

The family at the centre of the novel are wonderfully real (and having the twins being born on the same day as the Nazi party was officially formed was a genius touch). The cast of characters in the book range across the spectrum of classes in society yet everyone is drawn naturally and believably; they’re mostly people just caught up in the gale of the world, getting by as best as they can - none more so than the 4 children whose story we follow most closely. And the city too is used to reflect the changes each new era brings about: it brightens and comes to life in the boom years, then ages and darkens as Hitler’s spells wear off.Feb-1920 and two boys are born in Berlin. On this same day the ‘DAP changed its name to the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei ("National Socialist German Workers' Party", or Nazi Party)’. The Stengel’s are Jewish. Tough times are ahead methinks. What I will not do is to go into any details as it could spoil the twists that arise and there are a few of those. The enigmatic Winter has spent six decades creating various outlandish life histories for herself. Now old and ailing, she at last wants to tell the truth about her extraordinary life. She summons biographer Margaret Lea, a young woman for whom the secret of her own birth, hidden by those who loved her most, remains an ever-present pain.” A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley Spanning decades starting in the 1920s, the brothers , with their comrades and sweethearts Dagmar and Silke ( love the name Silke ) form a gang , The Saturday Club , and its the promise made in this club that forms the structure to the book. As the twelve days that comprise the novel’s framework yield to the final day and Hurricane Katrina, the unforgettable family at the novel’s heart—motherless children sacrificing for each other as they can, protecting and nurturing where love is scarce—pulls itself up to struggle for another day.” Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
