All The Light
You Can Not See
This book
follows Marialor who lives in France with her father. She is blind and she
enjoys the puzzles he makes for her to open on her birthday. He challenges her
to move around on her own and follows her til she's figured out how to walk
home, with scents, textures on the path and stores and so much more.
I am blind also
and can follow the techniques along. Marialor reads braille and loves the
classics she gets every year. He works at a museum and she is able to go
outside into the gardens. She is concerned about the war that will come soon.
Story also
follows a boy, Verna an orphan who can't wait to turn 15 then he can go down
into the mines. His father’s body is still there. He wants to help serve the
country by digging in the mines to help make metals for war machines. He is an
expert when it comes to fixing radios.
Alternating
chapters of each.
Horrid war scenes when Germans overtake
cities, they take everything and then some.
Love her adventures
outdoors, especially to the beach and her secret place that has a key that is
now hers.
She is able to
survive with her uncle til he leaves one day to do some errand and a German
comes into the house and is sick and stays for several days as she's locked in
her special area.
She's in charge
of the radio and speaks the book into the mic to tell others this story.
Sea of Flames,
what a legend, weaves its way through
the whole story. Love the tiny puzzle houses her father has created for her.
Never expected
one to show up and return to her.
Received this
loaner book via Overdrive from loan
state library and this is my honest opinion.
