This is a heartbreaking tale of a family living in Poland during the Nazi invasion. Reuven is a 17-year-old working with his father in their family owned umbrella making business. When the Nazis strip away their business, their home, and all of their belongings, they must do everything they can to survive.

Every story about World War II is sad and horrifying and this book is no exception. I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I’ll just say that this historical fiction is compelling and emotional. The ending took me by surprise too.
