The Romeo and
Juliet Code
By: Phoebe Stone
Book Review #2
Felicity, or Flissy for
short really hates staying with her distant relatives in Bottlebay, Maine,
especially since she is away from her Winnie and Danny. World War Two is more
dangerous than ever with air raids in England almost every day. None of this matters to Flissy now, Flissy is
convinced that her mom and dad are not in England like they said but in
Portugal. This isn’t the worst of it, the worst is she met Derek, Derek is her
first major crush. This isn’t any old crush either; Captain Derek is dashing as
they say in England, with a “lovely, big beaming smile that went nicely with
his grainy brown-sugar eyes. And his smile gave me that British coal fire
feeling. I had to look away because maybe this time I would cry.” (Stone,
Phoebe) A letter comes in the mail from
Portugal, but it’s all in code, and Flissy and Derek can’t figure it out.
Flissy and Derek team up to figure out the code, the first thing they figure
out is the code comes from Romeo and
Juliet. Soon, it’s Christmas and Flissy has a big present to give to Uncle
Gideon, a letter from Winnie that says:
Dearest
Gideon, If
you haven’t heard from me by November, please tell Felicity everything.
EVERYTHING! She must know, we can’t keep this from her any longer. Yours,
Winnie.
Will Flissy be able to figure out the code and find
her Winnie and Danny?
this sounds like a good book. you got me confused when you put the part of the book in it.
