The Dragonfly Pool

At first Tally doesn’t want to go to the boarding school called Delderton. But she soon discovers that it is a wonderful place where freedom and selfexpression are valued. Tally organizes a ragtag dance troupe so the school can participate in an international folk dancing festival in Bergania in the summer of 1939. There she befriends Karil, the crown prince, who would love nothing more than to have ordinary friends and attend a school like Delderton. When Karil’s father is assassinated, it is up to Tally and her friends to help Karil escape the Nazis and the bleak future he has inherited.

This is an amazing but fairly quick read. It's a beautiful story and I loved the things the children in this story do and the Devon description. I would reccomend to anyone as historical fiction gold. I love Eva Ibbotsons books and would reccomend to anyone who wants something heartwarming.
