touching

When i had to select a WWII book for my language arts class i chose this because i thought that it'd be an easy read. I soon learned what a truly wonderful and touching book i chose. I could truly relate to some of the things the children were feeling. Of course, I couldn't relate to it all because i've never been through a war or had people that wanted to kill me. This book truly moved me to tears and it's hard to make me cry... i'm one tough cookie! But i believe that this is a good choice for teens that are interested in the Holocaust or WWII!
