Riveting but sometimes confusing

I listened to this novel with my 12-year old and 10-year-old. We all really enjoyed it, and felt the great sorrow of the Holocaust. Yet are comforted by the survivors who continue to share their story!

Excellent audio version

This was incorporated into our middle school curriculum this year, and many of my students prefer to listen to novels as we read them in class. This reader conveys the heartbreaking realities and emotions of this story. While this was mixed with independent and teacher-led reading in class, I listened to this entire novel, and her reading is engaging as a listener. I feel middle school students and beyond would benefit from reading this novel.
