Ellis Carpenter has a lot on her mind during the summer of 1945, as World War II is winding down. Her best friend Jules has just found out that his brother is missing in action. And why, by the way, has Jules accepted a dare to kiss Sally Cabeen? Other questions for Ellis include how nice should you be to an annoying schoolmate? And what if you win a prize you don't think you deserve? Ellis is also worried about her grandmother. How come nobody is explaining what's wrong? The world is waiting for the war to be over and Ellis is waiting to become a full-fledged adult.
