For Lee there's nothing better than climbing to her secret hiding place in the sideyard tree and eating her chocolate Hershey bar, one square at a time.
But when she hears the grownups talking about Allies and Axis and Uncle Ted leaves to fight in a place called Europe, Lee's world is suddenly very different. One by one, Lee counts the days until war's end and she watches everything change- or is it she changes most of all?
Subtly and strongly interwoven, Gloria Houston's words and Lloyd Bloom's pictures create a poignant story of a child's questioning at the ways of the world. Be it the world of family or beyond. But No Candy affirms that the natural wisdom of the child is the truest kind.
