Joe Harbin, St. Paul:
"The Book of Ebenezer Le Page," by G.B. Edwards. It describes the German occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II. ... It is funny, warm, honest and touching. I don't rate books, but if I did, Ebenezer would earn nine out of 10 stars -- and the only reason it isn't a 10 is because it ends!
