Good youth book that looks at WWII through the eyes of a very naive 10 year old. Although it is fiction it is a fairly good premise for a book. There is alot going on that as an adult you read between the lines...however, from an adult perspective there were lots of problems with the book. One was language. I don't think that in German fury means the same thing as it does in English or Out-with. So that little play on words didn't work for me. Also, knowing what I know about WWII and Hitler Youth, they were indoctrinated very young, I find it hard to believe that the boy was so clueless about who Jews were. He would have been taught early that they were bad. A sad and very predictable ending. Okay, I guess I wanted to like the book, but it was just too contrived and ultimately unbelievable for my taste.
Every single I've tried out of that book are fantastic! I love the book and I love the food! Definitely worth the purchase.
The Sisterhood is a spectacular and inspiring story of 4 friends that will go to the ends of the world for each other. Tibby-the rebel. She is staying home and working while her friends explore the world, and she isnt thrilled about it. Lena-Shy, quiet, Greek Lena is off to Greece to visit her grandparents but then she meets Kostos... Carmen-Is off to spend the summer with her father but, will what he doesnt tell her unleash the notorous Carmen temper? Bridget-The wild and free Bee is going to soccer camp in Baja. Only one problem... No Boys! Well no boy players just Eric the coach and the perfect guy for Bee! But will her reckless attitude carry her too far. Ann Brashers hits the mark with the great characterization and stroy lines that keep you reading!
