Posted by jcarlson in : Historical Fiction , trackback

This book is about a girl named Annemarie that helps her Jewish friend Ellen during World War II.  Ellen is a Jewish girl that is going through some hard times in life during the war.  Things that are hard for her such as the Nazis are looking for her, her parents are taken away somewhere they will be safe, and she goes to live with her friend Annemarie.  To figure out what happens to Ellen and see if she can ever live a normal life again, you should read this book.  I liked this book because it was interesting and adventurous!

This is a classic of historical fiction. I admire the way Lois Lowry weaves facts about World War II into her story of the fictional family. Be sure to read the author’s “Afterword” about what is historical and what is fictional.
