A better book from Ms. Harry

"Tuppence to spend" by Lilian Harry is an addition to the April Gove Series. I have admitt that I really enjoyed the addition. This book tells the story of young Sammy Hodges, who after losing his mother is sent the country to live with the widow Ruth Purslow and this not only changes Sammy but also Dan Hodges a man who has not forgotten the Frist World War. This book can be read alone or with the another April Grove books, but either way it should not be missed.
