This one will always have special memories for me because I remember my Mom reading aloud to me. But aside from my fond memories, it is simply a wonderful story and just as good the second time around. This book is a great introduction to younger readers about the hardships and loss of WW2 without introducing all the fine details on all the horrors and violence. A story of the every-day heroism of people trying to piece their lives back together in the middle of devastation, this authorI adored this book as a child and I still adore it now. Maybe it was something to do with being the eldest child (with a younger brother and sister) that ensured I fully empathised with the main character Ruth, the would be teacher. Great characterisation and storytelling meant that it was a book I could not put down and also one I would re-read over and over again. For a book set in such a difficult context (WW2) I strangely found it a comforting read and would often turn to it when feeling fed
This is a wonderful book! The novel tells the poignant story of a group of childrens search for their parents in World War II ravaged Europe. The story revolves around the siblings Ruth, Edek and Bronia, and their friend Jan a resourceful but eccentric, street-smart kid. The siblings had a happy life in with their family in Poland. But, one day the Nazis would come for them and their world would turn upside down. Somehow they would flee and learn to survive on the streets. Ruth, the elder
I honestly read this book so that I could pass it on - its cover is downright atrocious.Unfortunately - I liked it.Totally strange and somewhat jilted writing style, surprisingly good story. (BUT SO MEAN TO THE CHARACTERS. WHY. I mean, realism, but...)
This was a great book. I love learning as much as I can about war and the hardships people went through during war. Joseph Baliki has three kids Ruth, Edek and Bronia. They have a swish mother but live in Poland. Joseph is a school master before the war but is taken away from his school and family. A few days later the Nazi's come back for Mrs. Baliki. The children have to escape before the Nazi's come back for them. I wish there was a movie to go along with the book. It could be a nice movie if
A really thrilling adventure
Definitely a classic. A fast moving and personal account of Polish children searching for their parents who had been taken from them in World War II. In my opinion it's a more engaging read than I Am David.
