"This is probably the best WW2 book that I've read so far! It just shows you what kids had to do during that hard time that most of us never experienced. Soon, there won't be anyone to remember this story except for amazing books like "Making Bombs..."

rated a book really liked it
|
|
| This was a very enjoyable mystery-thriller and I loved how Kate, the widow's story and Abby's the wife's story intertwined in unexpected ways. It kept me guessing to the very end. Must read more by Christian White. | |

answered a question about
Don't Tell the Nazis:
While the novel is rated age 8 to 12, I think older Middle grade and up would most appreciate it. That said, I've received enthusiastic emails from younger kids as well.

"4/5 stars. This young adult (older middle grade-ish) novel tells Krystia's story of courage and resistance set in Ukraine during WWII, at the end of Soviet occupation and during the subsequent takeover by the Nazis.
Though a fictionalized novel, K..." Read more of this review » |

“Kat happened to get a spot in the cafeteria line-up just behind the young woman lawyer who presented the case against her grandfather. She had removed her black robe too, and Kat found her much less threatening in her cream coloured jacket and trousers. The woman grabbed a carton of milk and then a tossed salad from behind the Plexiglas door. "Stay clear of the noodle soup," she said to Kat pleasantly. "It's vile."
Kat smiled back at her. How odd that this woman could be so nice. It must all be in a day's work for her to tear apart and impoverish families. Kat grabbed some red Jell-O and a carton of orange juice for herself. She didn't really feel like eating: she was just going through the motions.”

Nice to hear from you, Kristin! Congrats on the new book and that's awesome about the painting!
Hi Marsha.Hope all is well in your world. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth; just left the social network. (It's been a year and a half already.) It wasn't a a healthy fit for me. New book coming out next spring. In the meantime, I'm honing my painting skills. Who knows? Perhaps I can become an illustrator. To catch up on my activity or to get in touch, please visit me at my website: www.kristinbutcher.com
Hi! Thanks for friend request at this nice site too! Will be glad to share some recommendations, advices, thoughts, quotes, etc in the future! Best wishes! Keep up the good work! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds in your ears! (as my water dragons hunters would say - my Tale Of The Rock Pieces).
Thanks for the friend request! It's great hooking up with you here and sharing our love of books.
Thanks for being my goodreads buddy, Marsha! My new romantic suspense, The Twist is a Bookstrand #1 Bestseller! A story of mind-bending control and unnerving metamorphosis, The Twist unravels the tale of a hotshot consultant as he struggles to foil a plot to steal $12 million and to rescue the feisty, female scientist who has stolen his heart.
