"Book 4"--Cover. Includes excerpt from Molly saves the day (p. 67-73). When an English girl comes to stay at Molly's during World War II, she and Molly learn to bridge their differences and ultimately enjoy a wonderful, mutual birthday party. Molly is a lively, lovable schemer and dreamer growing up in 1944. Her stories describe her life on the home front during World War Two. Molly doesn't like many of the changes the war has brought, and she especially misses her father, who is away caring for wounded soldiers. But Molly learns the importance of getting along and pulling together -- just as her country has to do to win the war! Molly and her friend Emily plan a birthday party together. But their friendship starts to fade when they find themselves at odds. "Ages 7 and up"--Jacket. Reading Counts 4.1 1.0. 20220217. World War II 1939-1945 Fiction. Friendship Juvenile fiction. Fiction.
