Whoops, it looks like I forgot to journal this book when I received it! Apologies to Laura0141.
I read the full trilogy of these books when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed them. There are few books dealing with Nazi Germany you could give to children but this is one of them. The story is told through the eyes of Anna, whose father is a writer and a Jew. The family flee Germany when the Nazis come to power and travel across Europe via Switzerland and France before ending up in England.
This is a wonderfully written book and manages to address the horrors of the beginning of the Nazi regime. After this book, give a kid Goodnight Mr Tom to read!
