Lauren Tarshis gives another well-thought-out story in the I survived series. I like the shortness of her books and her characters are ones to root for. I always learn so much in a short time about the period of history the characters are in.

I finally got a chance to read this book and can now see why the kids all want to read it! I was worried the content might be too much for my students but the author shares the truth of these times very thoughtfully and honestly. I now have all of her books in my school library and I am quick to recommend them to all of my historical fiction readers.

Thank you to NetGalley and Scholastic for the opportunity to read and review this book.
