What if you could experience the Holocaust and all its terror first-hand? The protagonist of this story does just that when she is transported through time and space to Poland during the occupation. A scary story that needs to be read, especially by kids who think history is "boring" or not relevant to them.

I liked this story very much, even as a grown-up. True-to-life and horrifying.
