I really enjoyed the drama in this book!

Review by Max

Under the Domim Tree takes place in 1953, Israel. The story is about three girls who have survived the Holocaust. Aviya, the main character, goes to see her mother where some major drama takes place. Yola, one of the girls, has found out that a member of her family is still alive in Poland. And Mira is haunted by people she doesn't want to remember. Find out how these three girls lives come together and how they connect Under the Domim tree. I enjoyed reading this book because there were a lot of twists and turns. I couldn't stop reading, I always wanted to know what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy drama and suspense.

Review by charliew

LOVE THIS BOOK. Read it many times and each time I went through it, it was just as good as the first. I was able to relate to the main character and enjoyed being thrust into her shoes.

Review by Readergirl09

I really liked this book. It makes you think about the importance of friends and that you shouldn't judge people before you really meet them.

Actual Book Good Format Not So Much

Review by lolay

This book was really good except for the way it was written: when you open the book the placing of the words is all wrong there are no indents and no sensory details this book was so bland I had to fight past that to enjoy the actual book.

This is a poignant and beautifully written translation of a classic Israeli book about a group of children who live in a youth village in Israel in the 1950s. Aviya, the narrator, is a native Israeli, but most of the other children in the village are Holocaust survivors, each struggling with painful memories. In this gripping novel, Aviya finds young love and deals with her family's ghosts; Yola discovers that her father has survived the war; and Mira must confront a past that she does not even remember. As the plot develops, we are witness to the power of friendship, love, and respect as each child's wounds slowly heal. Parents: Read this book along with your child. You won't regret it!
