This book is about two friends (Emil and Karl) that are having a tough time while they are in the middle of the holocaust. Karl is a Jew, and Emil is the only person who has not judged him because of that. During the story, they find a lot of different people to live with until they escape. This book was showing a true friendship. || The setting of this book was during the holocaust. The holocaust is a cruel time period where people treated Jews unfairly and hurt them and their family’s dearly. || Julia D. I enjoyed reading this book. It always kept me interested and I liked how the author spoke in third person. ||

 * [[image:four_stars.jpg]] **Rating**: || **Historical note**: This book takes place during the end of the Holocaust, when Adolf Hitler and the Nazis captured, enslaved, and tortured many Jewish citizens.

 * || **Review**: I though that this was an excellent book, full of suspense. Especially when the story reaches its climax of the discovery of the truth. The book, however, can be a little difficult to follow sometimes. ||
