This book is right up there with Number the Stars (possibly even better) when it comes to YA Holocaust historical fiction. At first, it seems too simple because we know how huge the Holocaust was, but each survival story was different, and this is one (fictional) story. This, like Lowry's Number the Stars, is a great book to use to introduce kids to the horror that was the Holocaust.
