Negative Positive
Title: Romantic
Review: I was lucky enough to discover this gem two years ago. I'd just gotten braces, so having a great new book to read was a small comfort. The story is about a misfit named Patty. Her parents mistreat her, and the only sources of love are her grandparents, her housekeeper Ruth, and a German soldier called Anton. Although she's Jewish, Patty loves Anton dearly and hides him in her hangout over the garage. Against her will, she must let him go. The ending was a cliffhanger and paves the way for a great sequel(check out the reviews to see if Mrs. Greene delivered). I identified with Patty because I'm an outcast too. She was so brave and precocious for a twelve-year-old. She willingly accepted the consequences for her actions. The sacrificial love between her and Anton was so beautiful. Ruth was wonderful also. I highly reccomend this, and one can't say that about every book.
