I loved this book!
This is an astonishing and detailed book about how Hans Augusto Rey and Margret Rey escaped the horrors of World War II. The book told about the Jewish refugees' journey across Europe on bike and train. This insightful book gave me an amazing story about how this journey saved one of the most beloved book characters. After reading it I would give this book a six star rating if I could!
