Dear Papa

Set during World War II, this novel-in-letters follows a young girl learning to cope with the loss of her father.

It’s a good thing nine-year-old Isabelle is learning to write letters at school, because she has a lot to write to Papa about after he dies. As for Mama, she’s tired with a capital T -- and what’s worse, she’s sending Isabelle to live with her aunt and uncle.

  • A story with a loyal heart, an independent attitude, and an unforgettable way with words.
  • "The simple words grab your heart in this moving first novel," Booklist.
