I thought this book was filled of history but was also very fun to read and in my case it is really hard to interest me in historically fun books so thumbs up Lois Lowry!

This book was so intense and I was really freaked out about the soldiers. If I was a Jew, I would want to have switched my religion before I got caught. Lois Lowry did an excellent job of descriptive details and really pulling the reader into the book.

Good

A sad but beautiful book.

Lovely

This is a wonderful book for introducing children to the Holocaust. It's better for children who are a little older, but it's gentle enough to act as a starter book for kids learning about WWII.

Historical fun

If anyone wrote another book detailing the Nazis in non-textbook format, this book probably would be better than it. AKA this book is AWESOME!
