Really Interesting!

Review by Alma

This book is about a boy named Maurice and his life during the Holocaust. Life is really scary for him, as at the beginning of the book, he's basically just ushered outside his house to another place, without much warning, and from then on, life just gets really strange, he moves to a lot of different places, depending on where is safe and where isn't. I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes historical graphic novels like the PJ Our Way choice Hidden.

Nonfiction and historical but also relevant to now

Review by BNYYZ

It's a picture book but a complex story about young Maurice and struggling to learn English on a journey away from the Nazis.

Review by mmor2462

I didn’t like it to much… but I do think others who enjoy books like the genius under the table would like it(war books).

Maurice Dictionary

Review by NikiK

It was very funny when the dad thought he had a creature in his new pants, but instead he had a pin.
