Add a CommentI have been looking for this book since read it as a kid. It was amazingly written and as a kid reading it, it made one think of the impact that the halocaust really had on everyone. I am going to buy this book and make sure that my kids have access to it. it'll open up alot of good questions for them.
i have to do a book talk on a non fiction book..is this non fiction
this is the best book to read if you haven't read a lowry book before
I loved this book as a child and love it still rereading it as an adult.
Excellent book! I have once used this as a textbook for a world history lesson.
I really enjoyed this book and find Lois Lowry to be a great writer. She really can paint a great visual picture for you and make you feel like you are there, in the bedroom as the Nazi's are banging on the door, with the star of David in your hand. Totally recommend this!
Very good. Makes you think about what life was like during the war. Very thought provoking.
this book is confusing if u didnt know about the holocaust . i like it very interserting
one of my favorite books ever!
it wuz okay....but boring!!!!!!!!!
