Mapping the Bones by Jane Yolen
5.0
A gripping retelling of Hansel and Gretel
Hanging on the armature of the old Hans Christian Anderson tale, Hansel and Gretel comes Mapping the Bones.
The story is set in WWII Poland and follows the tense lives led by Jewish twins durning the war. We see their slow starvation, their escape into the woods, their parents making the hard choice to send them off. We see their imprisonment and near-death encounter as they are surrounded by death and pain.
Gripping from start to finish, Mapping the Bones is a wonderful and terrible look into the Holocaust.
