Book Review of The Devil's Arithmetic (Puffin Modern Classics)

The Devil's Arithmetic (Puffin Modern Classics)
reviewed An interesting take on the Holocaust. on + 43 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


A quick but heavy story, similar to the other book, Briar Rose (also by Jane Yolen), it blended modern times with the times of the Holocaust. This book is about a modern day girl, who did not understand her grandfather's ramblings and anger about what happened to him during the war, suddenly is transported to to the past and to a new understanding.
