'"Well, anyone can give up on a dream."
His mouth dropped open. "You wouldn't."
Last Chance Bay is a touching story about a girl named Meg Christie who lives at Cape Breton. It is set during the Second World War (World War II). Meg Christie wishes something no girl (other than Amelia Earhart and Beryl Markham) has ever done. She wishes to fly. There at that time, especially when World War II is raging, it is almost an impossible dream. Still, 'If there's a will, there's a way.' There may just be a way- if she keeps on trying. But it's so easy to give up hope, give up dreams. It's so easy to quit. So tempting to quit. Can she resist?
Meg Christie with her cousin, Caleb, try hard to fulfill their dreams and desires. However, as Caleb goes away and Meg just keeps on getting crabbier and crabbier, things don't look so good for either one of them. After all, one can hope so much and wish so much. One day, hope is extinguished and still, life moves on. You think: 'How crabby can a girl get?'. A LOT. She can get curt as well:
'They stopped and watched as I grabbed a few carrots from the vegetable bin.
"You hungry?"
"Yup. Good night."'
It seems that things seem to get out of order, like an unbalanced wheel. Seconds from crashing- seconds from loosing hope forever. Seconds from loosing dreams.
'Humans weren't meant to be underground. The earth's foundations didn't like being disturbed. Any fool knew that.'
Anne Laurel Carter wrote an amazing book about hope, dreams, heartbreak, hate, love, longing, and sorrow. Last Chance Bay is one of must-reads. It will change your view of airplanes and cousins forever. Whatever you do, don't stop dreaming and hoping. Even if it seems hopeless. Especially if it seems hopeless.
"'My friend, you would not tell me with such high zest to children ardent for some desperate glory, the old lie: Dulce et decorun est / Pro protria mori."
There is no honour dying in war, just a lot of blood, and men dying.'
Do you beleive?
***I give this book a 8.5 out of 10.***
