He couldn't hear her, but in another flash he saw her, she was sure. And the rest of it seemed to be in slow motion. The next wave was so swollen, so tremendously high, that it pulled his boat up, and up, and the boat poised there on the crest for an instant, motionless. She could see him clearly, the orange of his life jacket standing out even in the darkness.
Then, as the wave slid out from under the boat, she could see the forward part rising, almost straight up. Lily watched it, breathless, as it slid back, and in that second, Albert was tossed into the sea.
She could see the orange life jacket a little longer, but after only seconds a wave pulled her boat in one direction and Albert in another and he disappeared.
She kept calling, kept trying to turn the boat in circles, glancing at the lights on the boardwalk to mark her place, watching for the streaks of lightning to show her where he was.
She veered away from his empty boat, which was spinning first high on a wave, then into the crest. In another flash she saw him again, just the quickest glimpse, the orange life jacket, and his dark head above the water.
"I'm here," she yelled, not sure he had heard her, or even seen her, and then another wave came, a mountain of a swell that moved toward them, pushing Albert toward her. Lily could see him turning toward her, his mouth open. He was gulping water, and she reached out, and by some miracle, her hand hooked around the top of the jacket. She held it, feeling her nails rip, but knowing she wouldn't let go, even if she was pulled out of the boat.
But the wave was past them now, and the water grew calm just for the second he needed to grip the boat, and she pulled at his jacket with both hands until he tumbled into the boat.

I just love this book. I loved the story. I read it myself when I was in about 5th or 6th grade. I had to order it for my 10 year old. She is enjoying reading it. I plan on ordering her more from this author
Lovely story that takes place during WW2. Story told from Lily's point of view so makes it a great book for 5th grade readers.
Wow! I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this book, I had to read it for school. I did like a lot though, the ending is my favorite part and it was heartwarming, along with being the best way to end a book.
My 12 year old granddaughter read this book in school. She fell in love with the story and the writing style! She asked if she could buy this book for her friends for Christmas ( wow!). I said "of course". So a very Merry Christmas indeed.
