Reason for Reading: read aloud to the 10yo as part of our history curriculum.
This is a gentle, quiet story that is suitable for younger children (as a read loud) since it deals with the very early days of Hitler's Germany, making one aware of the need for escape in those early days and how fortunate were those who did manage to leave Germany before the atrocities began. The story is told from Lisa's point of view, the second oldest girl of three, perhaps 11 years old. Their father ha...more

This is still one of my favorite books. I loved the characters in this book, and how real it all felt. I think that this book deals with a lot of things which many of the Holocaust books don't in terms of refugees, such as their living conditions and what it took for them to reach their destination.
Conrad is reading this book for a school report so I thought I would read it along with him. It was good for his age, a mild version of a holocaust story. :)
This book is a realistic fiction story about a Jewish family in Germany at the time when Hitler is taking over.
It is a really good book.
It is a really good book.
This book has stuck with me from middle school. Sad and real.
Such a good book! Just finished it, one of my favorites!
This is one of my absolute favorite books from my childhood. Not only was it the first chapter book I read by myself but it was my first learning experience of the Holocaust. (Little did I know back than how very mild the book was compared to the real thing though.) Every now and again I will re-read the book if I have an hour or two to spare. Its books like this that make a person really appreciate their family and relize how lucky they really are.
