Through Norah’s thirteenth summer Pearson creates a vivid and honest snapshot of what life as a teenage girl is like. While it is the middle book in the Guests of War trilogy, it is the book I read first, and though it is connected to the others as it is a mere piece of the story of Norah and Gavin, it has the ability to stand alone. Review: I have lost track of how many times I have read Kit Pearson’s Looking at the Moon. This summer marks her departure from childhood, her first experience with romantic love and her realisation that in the face of war, being a grown up means making tough decisions. But after three years away from her home in England and her family, Norah is now a teenager dealing with a changing body and emotions. Gairloch, a Muskoka cottage, is their home for the summer, and along with guardians Aunt Florence and Aunt Mary, Gavin and Norah are absorbed into the Drummond clan. Summary: Living as a guest of war in Canada with her little brother Gavin during World War II, Norah Stoakes is a thirteen year-old girl on the cusp of womanhood.
