The Night War by Ariella

Review by Ariella

I liked The Night War because it is full of adventure and is quite exciting to read. Just when the story seems to calm down, another adventure appears. Miriam is a twelve-year-old Jewish girl alive during World War II. If you’re a person who likes adventure, excitement, and mystery, you will love this book! All in all, The Night War is a very heartwarming book.

Great book

Review by grandmaf

I liked learning about the history of Jews in France. My grandma shared with me what she knew, as we read the book. Love that the hero is a girl, too

very good book

Review by Monkey26

The night war is a good book. Some parts are a bit slow, but it gets faster through the middle. I really like the ending parts. It is a good book and I would recommend it to you.

Good book!

Review by WoodyWoodpecker

The night war has just the right moments to make you sad, but also just the right moments to make you happy! The book gets better as it progresses, and the ending is SO GOOD! There are TWO plot twists at the ending, and also one near the middle….. So I recommend this book!

Amazing

Review by Potterfan14

It is an amazing book and it takes you through everything that Miriam is feeling. If you like fictional books that have a lot of emotion and a thick plot this is the book for you.
