Intense and lots of tension.

Good for people who are okay with sad deaths

A 7 year old Jew is in the middle of World War II. And the enemy has taken over her town that she calls home. They are making up new rules against Jews each minute, and giving the Polish advantage over them. It’s not long until the final rule.

Comment by Oliver

This is a great book about a Jewish girl who is based in the time of Adolf Hitler and his NATZI group. This is very sad and depressing story one of the saddest we have ever read. We recommend this book for mature year 5 and 6.We gave this book a 6.5/10. We like this book because it was a very interesting and sad story.
