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.

Good But Not Interesting

Review by SacKing

The part in this book that I liked is that there was a war going on. The part that I didn’t like was that Jews were at risk. If you want to read a book about serious stuff then you should pick this but if you don’t then you shouldn’t.

Great book

Review by Mbhpats

I loved how Maurice wanted to be a lawyer and he had to go through all those places in WW2 to get there.

An awesome book

Review by rafinha2014

I think it is cool how Maurice wanted a scholarship to follow his dreams and very sad when they had to keep moving from country to country. It was an awesome reading!!!
