The Length of a String is an amazing historical fiction/WWII book about a girl who finds the diary of her great-grandmother, from the Holocaust, soon after she dies. This evokes a powerful feeling inside her, and she longs to find out about her own history, as she was adopted. I would recommend this book to people who like historical fiction books about the Holocaust, and like books with some mysteries of identity and the meaning of family. This book is probably best for older and more mature kids who are 9 years old and above, and understand the topic of the Holocaust. This was a great book, and I'd give it 4.5 stars, but I was not able to.

Good book. Really happy ending! Would recommend this more to older kids. A bit sad.

In this book an African-American Jewish girl, named Imani, finds her late, great grandmother’s old diary. All Imani wants for her Bat Mitzvah, is to find out more about her birth parents. From her great grandmother’s diary, she learns that family is anyone who loves and cares about you. The book is awesome and I recommend it!

This book is great!! it showed her grandmother's history and her life together. one of my favorites!! definitely recommended

I liked this book. It showed me how sensitive some people are. And how confusing the road of private adoption can be for the child.
