What Members Thought
Sequel to Earley's previous novel Jim the Boy, Jim is now on the cusp of manhood at the onset of World War II. Earley convincingly captures the mind of his 18-year-old protagonist. The uncles, a source of great reading enjoyment in Jim the Boy, are much less prominent in this story. Jim's mom is practically invisible. Rather, this book focuses on young love and an inescapable war. Perhaps not quite as charming as the first book, The Blue Star is a convincing and enjoyable period-piece.
