The book I am reviewing is called When We Had Wings by Tami Shem Tov it is about Janek, a 12 year old from Warsaw, Poland who is a thief who encounters an orphanage run by a very nice doctor. But then his sister gets a chance to move to Palestine and he has to decide weather to stay in Poland or go to Palestine with his sister. Overall I liked this book.

Great!

Review by oven

It was very exiting and emotional. It didn't talk about jews until the middle, but at least it told about them in a very interesting way

When We Had Wings

Review by WesternRose

My family LOVE this book as we built a whole discussion about its contents. I planned an activity, snack and conversation about other books that we received from PJ Our Way. We find strength in valued information. Thank you!
