Interesting

Review by pinkart2020

I like this book! It’s basically about a Jewish family that sends their daughters to Sweden to escape the nazis.but when they teach the destination, they get separated into different families. That’s all I’m saying. Read the book to find out what happens.

A really amazing book!!!!!!

Review by penguina01

This book is about a Jewish family, who sent their daughters to Sweden by themselves to escape the Nazis. When the two sisters reach their destination they got separated into different families. How will they adapt to their new surroundings? Will they ever see their parents again? Read the book to find out! I really liked reading this book, I hope you do too!

Very good

Review by PurpleHamster

It was very good, but it was also really sad at some points. If you like sad realistic fiction books then I definitely recommend reading this book.
