-- BOOKLIST
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. Her sisters have boyfriends, little Ida hardly remembers Papa, and Ian is mad to be left with a house full of females. 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. Now who will stop little Ida from calling Mama's boss " Papa" ? Set during World War II, this novel-in-letters follows a young girl learning to cope with the loss of her father -- with a loyal heart, an independent attitude, and an unforgettable way with words.
