reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


Elli Friedman fights for her life in the concentration camp. Elli used to be rich, beautiful, and a daydreaming poet, but now those daydreams are over, when the Nazis invade Hungary. First Elli can not attend school, have possesions, or talk to her neighbors. Then she and her family are forced to move into a crowded ghetto, where privacy becomes a luxury of the past and food becomes a scarcity. Elli can adjust somehow, but little does she know, the worst is yet to come. .
