Rezensionen

"This well-written, painful story is a good addition to the genre of Holocaust fiction… Recommended."

"The underlying truth of what happened and how her family survived is really what makes this utterly compelling fiction…I am so grateful to [Monique and other authors like her] who tackle these really difficult stories and write unflinching books for teenagers."

"Polak's story breathes life into a period fading from memory."

"The descriptive narrative is cohesive, well-constructed, and compelling and provides a different view of what a man deemed necessary to survive.

"[This] realistic novel, written in memoir format, raises questions of moral principles and beliefs while it portrays the horrors of the Holocaust."

"An excellent novel—a great tale of overcoming adversity in a time of such dark despair."

"This book is well-written, the characters are developed so well you can relate to them, the setting is described such that you can picture it in your mind, and the action and suspense make you keep turning the pages."

"Through Anneke's eyes, author Monique Polak presents an astonishing and depressing event."

"This book certainly holds its own in the canon of Holocaust-based fiction for the young adult audience...Polak balances this [dark reality] with uplifting moments of friendship, family tenderness and even romance."

"Well written, thought provoking, and a solid addition to the canon of Holocaust fiction - perfect for reading lists and teens who enjoy historical fiction."

"[Offers] a candid look at a father's presumed collusion, a perspective rarely seen in YA literature about the Holocaust."

"A powerful story of growing up in unspeakable conditions, of human suffering, loss and, ultimately, hope."

"Full of hope...This volume makes for great reading and an excellent resource for a school library."

"A very personal, thought-provoking and, ultimately, hopeful book."

"Takes the reader to the heart of the horror by creating a character whose vivid confusion, disbelief, and innocence are immediate and powerful."

"The pressure and urgency of inspiration, not to mention tears and blood, is palpable everywhere."

"Recommended."
