Whistling in the Dark by Lesley Kagen; NAL Trade
Whistling in the Dark is the poignant and beautiful story of a little girl’s innocent and selfless love for her sister. Ten-year-old Sally O'Malley leads us through her childhood journey on Vliet Street in a 1950s Midwestern American town as she tries to fulfill the promises she made to her father on his death bed. Light and whimsical Whistling in the Dark is not, but you will not be able to tear yourself away from Sally and Troo O’Malley, making for a few good hours in the sun to work on that tan—and maybe a tear or two. *** * ***
