I read it 1 night at my cousins house. It was pretty good. I reccamend.
One night, young Elsa hears her grandma, Dounia, sniffiling in the living room. What could possibly be so bothersome? Creeping into the room, Elsa finally learns her Grandma's past and what things was like for the Jews back during the Natzi invasion. Elsa quickly discovers the truth to her grandmothers back story and is stunned by how Dounia lived when she was Elsa's age. Follow both girls as Elsa learns about what it really was like back then. Awesome book-written comic style so that everybody will love it!
I loved this book. It was very exciting and kept me at the edge of my seat. I loved how it ended so well. I thought for sure things would end badly but they turned out good! READ THIS BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elsa is just a regular kid like all others, until one night, her life is uplifted and changed by her grandmother, Dounia's, story. Dounia was just like Elsa, until the Nazis appeared in France to harm all Jewish people. Dounia's life was put at great risk, as her parents hid her multiple times to avoid getting sent to a camp. But one night, Dounia's house is knocked on by several men. Dounia's parents were gone. But not Dounia. Learn/read about how Dounia stayed alive in the uncertain times, and how she became a healthy grandmother to Elsa. I recommend this book to all Jewish kids, because this book really shows, even through fictional characters, the importance of how the Jews escaped, and lived through such harsh times. Dounia, Elsa, and etc. are all fictional, but we still carry their hearts with us today as we still remember this unfortunate event. This book gets sad at a few points, but is very heart meaningful, and really shows the true meaning of the Nazi invasion. Read Away!
Good book
