This is one book you will not put down! A family is torn apart by the Holocaust, and a young girl relives her trauma of her parents and brother leaving her. This book is sad, yet powerful reading.

Abook about a teenage boy who just doesn't seem to fit in,and how he copes through life. The author takes you through his school years, drugs,dates and being a wallflower, and you will even laugh at times. Very well written and a great book for all.
