This is another one I read for work this year (teaching 6th grade English), and I enjoyed this one a lot. It tells the story of the brave who fought back against the nazi’s, and about friendship that conquers everything. I’m excited to teach this book this year and can’t wait to see what my students have to say about it!

A reread from my childhood that I come back to every couple of years. It's a great introduction for children into the very sensitive topic of the Holocaust. Annemarie's viewpoint is great for processing and understanding what's going on from a young age.
