The most age appropriate book about this subject I've seen so far. I read almost anything I can find on the Holocaust, all parts of it, whether it's academic, YA, anything and most of the "YA" I've read so far isn't what I'd give my daughter until she's an older teenager/young adult.
Even though this is fiction it's based on a true story and I love that Lowry adds at the end what is real and what's not. I also love how she touches on a part of the Holocaust that isn't written about for the most part.

Number the Stars is another book about World War II, about a Jewish family that goes into hiding. It is a good book if you are looking for fact mixed with fiction, and an ending to leave you guessing.

This book was a very good stories for both girls and boys. It gives a glimpse of what a true Christian should be. Also it give you a glimpse of what the Jewish people had to go through during the time of Hitler.

one that all should read. it's rather incredible to walk through the story and know that you're only reading what so many lived through.
