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.

Review by BooksforM

This is probably one of the best books I've ever read, my favorite part was when Esther got stuck on the shelf. It was crazy when I read the back & found out that the orphanage was real
