I read this book when I was 13. I am now 14. I understood this book and its message, and did not find it unsettling. However, people older than me can appreciate it as well. It is a beautifully written book that does not hide the pain and hardship of this time in history.
Recommended For Jews and non-Jews alike!

Two thumbs up! This book was a positive influence on me, being Orhtodox Jewish. It was also a positive influence on my best friend who is Christian. The story is perfectly set following one girl through her troubles of WWII.

The reader is brought back to the terror filled days and months that engulfed the Jewish community as the full impact of Nazi power became apparent - a gradual, relentless process that escalates suddenly with Kristallnacht. As the day to day events unfold, the reader is swept up in the personal terror and loss that each of the characters feel. It is a wrenching, beautifully written story. Older teens and adult readers alike will be captured by this book.
an excellently written book author is very sensitive.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This haunting, sad book must be read. Eva is a young German Jewish girl. She lives with her parents and grandfather in a comfortable apartment, and life is good. Until the Nazis come to power and everything changes. Her father, a bookseller, must give up his store. Her grandfather dies. She can no longer go to school or see her non-Jewish friends. Everything seems forbidden. Can Eva's family find a way out or are they doomed?
