The Green Glass Sea
“The Hook”
“Dewey Kerrigan sits on the concrete steps of Mrs.Kovack’s house in St.Louis waiting for her father. He is in Chicago-war work- and she has not seen him since the fourth of July. It’s almost thanksgiving now. She looks toward the corner every few seconds.”(Page 1)
Recommendation
Have you ever wanted to be involved in secret war activities? Well, Dewey and Suze didn’t. They had normal lives before the war. When their families were called by the government, their lives changed forever. In New Mexico, a place called “the hill” is where they are. It’s so secret, they can’t even tell names! Suddenly, Dewey’s father has to go to Washington. Now, “Screwy” Dewey has to live with Suze. They even have to share a bedroom! To find out if things get better, read the book.
