The Upstairs Room by Johanna Reiss
3.0
Johanna Reiss describes her experiences during the Holocaust as a Dutch Jew. The main character, Annie, goes into hiding with her older sister, Sini. The sisters spend over two years together in hiding, with little communication and interaction with the outside world.
This novel appropriately addresses the difficult concept of the Holocaust in a way that young readers can understand and connect to. This novel provides a brief snapshot into the lives of real people who were caught up in horrific circumstances.
