Description

Crossing Stones by Helen Frost is a beautifully structured verse novel that explores the lives of two resilient families struggling to stay together in a changing world. Against the backdrop of World War I, the story follows Muriel and her family as they navigate their relationships and find ways to care for those they love while remaining true to themselves.

The novel is set against the intimate connection between two families, bound by crossing stones that span Crabapple Creek. As Frank Norman enlists to fight in the war and Ollie joins him despite being underage, Muriel finds herself drawn into the women's suffrage movement, but faces opposition from those around her.

This powerful and poignant novel is a thought-provoking exploration of identity, community, and the complexities of growing up during times of great change.
