Kristen answers “Is this a good book for an Eighth grade...”

Brady Clemmer asked this question about The Children of Willesden Lane: A True Story of Hope and Survival During World War II (Young Readers Edition):

Is this a good book for an Eighth grade student studying the holocaust. Will it help me prepare for AP English next year or should I choose another book?

Kristen It's definitely a good book to read, but you don't get as much detail about the holocaust as you might with some other books. A lot of time is covered…moreIt's definitely a good book to read, but you don't get as much detail about the holocaust as you might with some other books. A lot of time is covered in a relatively short book, and a lot of the book focuses on Lisa and her music. But you do learn some about the war and hardships of both the Jewish people in Europe and others in England. It's probably not the best book to help prepare you for a class though. (less)
