Ratings and reviews

I was at one of those school book drives when i was in the 7th, maybe eighth grade. The Holocaust has always peaked my interest. So naturally i picked this one out of the stack of books. This boy's tragic struggle to survive in such harsh conditions really pulled on my heartstrings. I would finish the book and immediately pick it up again and start reading. This book is an easy read, yet descriptive. Hard to put it down. Two thumbs up!

Important to understand history, what has occurred and strive to know more about it so that this horrible history does not repeat itself.

Its a great book 👍 i recomend it to anybody they will have a great expirience reading it

About the author

Andrea Warren says, "I'm always looking behind facts and dates in search of how extraordinary times impact ordinary people. I think the most engaging way to study history is by seeing it through the eyes of participants. Each of us wants to know, If that had been me at that time, in that place, what would I have done? What would have happened to me?"Among Warren's honors are the prestigious Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Orphan Train Rider: One Boy's True Story, which was also selected as an ALA Notable Book. She won the Midland Authors Award for Pioneer Girl. Growing Up on the Prairie. A former teacher and journalist, Warren writes from her home in the Kansas City suburb of Prairie Village, Kansas.
