Hitler's Daughter

I like this book because it is interesting and it talks about Hitler. He killed about 11 millions of people. I like this book because it have fact about a story about hitler and his daughter, and it talks about a family that were going to bus and Anna the big sister told storys about hitler's daughter.

Hitles Daughter

This book is Awsome!!!!!!!!!! we read it in English. it always leaves a gap in the storyline for you to solve and put the pieces of the puzzle together which is what i like in a book. the end is mysterious yet interesting leaving you with the question "is it just a story, or is it real?" I highly reccomend you read this book!! Lauren Markham age 12 year 7

A short, pleasant read!!

Three children are bored, waiting for the bus.So they play the game.The game is a story that Anna made up to soothe Little Tracy when she was afraid, lonely or bored.The stories in the game that Anna had told, to Mark, had always been boring and childish, but when Anna produces a story so realistic about Hitler's daughter Heidi, Mark is confused.......... Heidi is an ugly and lonely girl, she is very rich and has many beautiful dolls with blonde hair and perfect, very-white skin.Hitler never loved her, and she didn't trust his politics, and they started a revoloution against each other.I found this book entrancing and magical.A story about a gifted, young girl, fighting for her survival.

Thought-Provoking Take on Hitler and His Germany

This is a quick read but one that I can definitely recommend. What starts as a game of storytelling while waiting for the bus evolves into much more as a group of schoolchildren find themselves exploring deep ideas beyond the obvious. What if Hitler really did have a daughter? What if she disagreed with his policies? Mark, the central character, struggles with how these ideas could carry over into his life while Anna tells a story that certainly sounds realistic. This book is written on a level for 10-12 year olds but brings to life many thought-provoking questions that readers of all ages will ponder for a long time afterwards. This book would especially make for interesting discussions in a classroom setting. Highly recommended.

nikki's review

The title of the book it Hitler's daughter. The author was Jakie French. Ther main charectors in the book were Mark, Anna, Little Tracy, and Of course hidie. Mark was the one who noever lisend to the story. Anna was the one who told the story's, and little Tracy was always begging to play the game. Hidie was the charector in the story. The story of a roup of friends who was sitting undder the bus sation one rainny day waiting for the bus when little TRacy suggested to play The Game. the GAme was when Anna had to tell a story. it was always a make belive story, but not this time this was a true story of hitlers daughter. As the story went on imark got more and more interested in it. It sated to come to life for the kids.Hidie who's father was hitler( she called him Duffi). started to relize the world around her. she was a girl with a birth mark across her head and one leg was bigger than the other, so she had to limp. She even tryed to save some Jews in her old hen pen.but know one ever came. She had to move several times before she went away. the setting took place in astrailia under a bus shelter. But the story took place in a nuber of places in Germany. I think the story means that just because your parents think it isright dosen't mean it is right, and you should stand up for what you belive in. I liked it because it really made you think of what you would do in hidie's position. Would you go with what you parents say or would you stick up for yourself?
