This a fabulous account of Ruth Minsky Sender's life during the Holocaust. It's an easy and quick read and it will make you laugh, cry and want to know what happened to this girl during this terrible time period. This true story starts in Lodz Ghetto (a perspective we rarely read about) and takes you into a few different concentration camps. I read this with my 8th graders and they just love it. If you (or whoever is reading this) don't know much about the Holocaust, a little research should be done first to really understand what the author is talking about- to understand the places she takes you. It's great book and a great read! Good for middle school and high school or adults who like history or a story about overcoming problems. While you read it it's hard to remember it's non-fiction because it's so well written!
