In this book it is a teen girl who's family is barely surviving in Germany, because of all the threats and limits of what they can do for being Jewish. She is sent to America where some of her family lives, so she will be safe and free. In the end she has a much better life but she still holds that curiosity of what all happened over in Germany and also why her family was killed.This book shows one perspective of one person instead of foucusing on a crowd or group that was effected by the Holocaust, and it helps to see what it was like. I think that the author describes the emotions of the characters really well. It was very interesting to see what happened next, and how the tension built up. What I didn't like is how a part of the story would be continued or unanswered. I don't know much about World War Two and I think it is a really encapturing topic, and this book gave me a feeling of what it was like as a child her age to go through everything. I would recomend this to tween girls and boys but mainly for girls, especially people who ponder the subject of World War Two. The book show's so much bravery and independence of a girl who is in a new country and dosen't speak the same language. It could change your whole perspective of how important it was to some people just to save one soul during that time period by just reading a part of it. I really loved this book and couldn't keep my eyes away from it because It was so intriguing. Review coming tomorrow as jake is already minutes after finishing this book reading the 2nd of 6 fat books he nabbed at BN the other day. I want him to tell me what exactly he wants to say. I think I'll start him his own GR account if he's amenable as I don't mean to cheat by adding his books (this is only the 2nd and both are to be read for me) but I feel the author deserves the stars in both cases...he even said 5 on this one despite being disappointed the end didn't wrap up her whole future apparently but left it to the readers imagination more than his 11 yr old mind liked. When asked if he was sure he didn't want to take a star off for the ending he'd just complained about he said no it was a good book!! Since I started this last night and just told u some of his remarks and I don't like to rehash plots in my own reviews for fear of spoilers n bc u can read that in many other reviews usually, this may be the whole review unless he wants to add anything.
