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.

Couldn't Put the Book Down!

Review by JuDu2016

Since I really like historical fiction, this book was right up my alley! Filled with adventures from the beginning to end, I kept finding myself surprised by what happened next. Miri is very courageous and strong. She always tries to do the right thing and makes some friends along the way. Even though she's a fictional character, she is definitely a role model.

Great Book! lots of fun twists!

Review by DS2014

this was probably one of my favorite books from PJ Our Way. Even my mom liked it! it's all about a 12 year old girl living in France during World War II. She helps so many people during her life (even though it isn't a true story) and she's really an inspiring person. 10\10 would recommend for ages ~10 and up!
