I loved the book Linked!

Review by Rachel

It’s about a difficult situation in an ordinary school, and the kids work together on a big and meaningful project that helps people understand the significance of the Holocaust. There were unexpected friendships, lots of different characters, and multiple points of view, which made it interesting and fun to read. I recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction.

Review by addie1014

This book was amazing in my opinion because it showed the different character's point of view in an interesting way. There are amazing plot twist at every turn. After this, I got many other books from this author like the book Restart. I highly recommend it. I got sucked in the first moment I opened tie book!

When a swastika shows up on the wall of the only middle school in the small town of Chokecherry, Colorado, everyone wants to know who did it. Was it Michael, one of the few students of color in the school? Was it Link, the popular athlete whose pranks sometimes go too far? Or was it Pouncey, whose grandfather was rumored to be a part of the local chapter of the KKK decades ago? In the midst of all of it, Dana, the only Jewish girl in school, feels singled out and totally confused. Meanwhile, Link learns that his grandmother’s parents left her in a French orphanage before they were deported to a concentration camp. She was raised without any knowledge of her Jewish heritage, but when Link learns about it, he decides to have a bar mitzvah. When more swastikas show up despite ongoing tolerance education, the kids decide to make six million paper links to represent the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. When a popular social media star comes to document Chokecherry’s drama and the town’s painful history, people from all over the community and the country step in to help them reach their goal.
