परिचय
In this unique introduction to the Holocaust for younger readers, Newbery Medalist Karen Hesse tells a powerful story about life in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II - and about one Jewish girls involvement in the Resistance. At once terrifying and soulful, this well-researched fictional account is a testament to history and to our passionate will to survive. "Hesse has found a little-known vignette that she treats with her customary modest but elevating freeverse style, making a grave subject enormously accessible, gently humorous, and affectingly triumphant." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
