The Lights Go On Again by Kit PearsonViking, 1993

This is the last book in the trilogy that begins with The Sky Is Falling, and it’s as pleasing as the first one was. As the war in Europe comes to an end, Canada’s “war guests” start to return to England. Norah and Gavin wonder when their turn will come: Norah’s excited, but Gavin, who remembers England only as a place of war and fear, wishes he could stay in Canada. He grapples with what he wants to do and what he “should” do, trying to figure out what will make him happiest — maybe I liked this book more than the second one because Gavin’s thought processes seem more interesting to me than Norah’s, and this book focuses on him more than her.
