Inspiring and powerful. Incredibly written - so much truth with a splash of fiction. The journey of a young boy surviving through 10 camps during the Holocaust that felt so real and raw. Give young adults books like this over textbooks any day to not just learn but emotionally connect to the history!

One of the best books I've read about a rewritten story about a Jewish boy who went to 7 different concentration camps during WWII. This books is really sad, graphic, with sensitive topics but it introduces you to another side of what it was like to be in some of the worst concentration camps.
