I used this book in my classroom to give students some background on Holocaust Remebrance Day on Jan. Jane Yolen is a wonderful author and her use of foreshadowing, and character development are amazing. 27th. Myself and my students enjoyed this book tremendously. This was a real eye opener for some of my students about the Holocaust. Even though this is a work of fiction, Jane Yolen really gives some insight on this tragedy.
It shows how they just got sucked into something they couldn't do anything about. This is the type of book you can't put down. It's important for everyone to remember the Holocaust, because it could happen again. You want to put it down, because the subject is uncomfortable, but you can't. The character has a mental experience where she travels back in time, and becomes one of the Jews that went to a concentration camp. If you want to read a modern love story that is also compelling, check out Stars Shine After Dark. It's just been republished as an ebook on [.].Stars Shine After Dark
Fast Shipping. I didn't realize I was getting a hard back but it was a nice surprise. Thank you.
This book was amazing. It's inspiring, moving, and about ten other great things. I most definitely recommend it to anyone interested in the Nazi Holocaust.
As other reviews have said this book is essentially Schindler list but from a child's perspective and i think that is a perfect way to describe it. i sometimes find myself wondering what it was like in the days of my grandparents and wanting to experience it for myself. i think that because it is about a girl who gets to what her grandparents are talking about what they went through but then she actually gets to experience it for herself. she then realizes that the things that would really bug her and she would be annoyed by their stories but she actually experiences it. great book. i recommend it to everyone.
