Summary: experience the true horror
Comment: This book is very well-written. I read this book in 8th grade and many times after that. When you read this book you feel like as if your experienceing the struggle. A very good book.

Summary: Not Moving
Comment: Although my favorite genre is historical fiction, this book just didn't do it for me. I wasn't greatly moved and I didn't feel really sad or compassionate. This novel is short and sweet, informative, not boring, and well put together. The only thing is that it doesn't make you feel the way the characters do, or change your perspective on things. I reccomend to anyone who enjoys reading about the holocaust. I did enjoy reading it, but it wasn't fanominal. The plot was almost unbelievable. It is a little juvenile for older kids, who can move on to more sophisticated Holocaust books. I read it just befor going to the Holocaust museum in Washington, DC and found that having background knowledge is very useful when going there. Overall, good and informative; not breath taking.

Summary: Intense, but entertaining
Comment: As a kid reading this book, I was overwhelmed. It was entertaining, dramatic. I was overcome and learned religious tolerance, compassion, and other great emotions for a child to learn. Incredible introduction to WWII/Holocaust.

Summary: An Enjoyable Book
Comment: While the book is mostly fiction, it is based on historic events, and whether you like to read about this period in history, or just enjoy short stories, this is a fun book to read. It's not the most exciting book on the subject out there, but the story is easy to follow and the characters are relatively well developed.
I especially enjoyed the authors' afterword, where she explains which parts of the story were fact and fiction, as it helps the reader consider the events and historical significance of an infrequently written about area (geographically) of the war.
Though the book should not be viewed as a history book per se, it is well worth the read, even for adults. Also, the story may initiate further reading outside of school for young adults or teens interested in this period of history.
The only real "annoyance" with the book was the quality of the printing on some pages, as the letters were not always crisp and clear.
