Book Review: One of the best YA books on the subject
Summary: 5 Stars
Hilary, a member of a neo-Nazi group, is hospitalized after a motercycle accident. While in a comotose state, she is transported back to Poland in the 1940's and into the life of a Jewish teenage named Chana. Hilary's experiences (through Chana) in a ghetto and concentration lead her to greater understanding of the people around her in both the past and the present. I first found this book while searching for titles for a WWII unit for my eighth grade English students. It became the most popular book in the unit. My students and I like this book both because of the detailed descriptions of WWII Poland and because of the connection with life in 1990's USA.
The language in the book, while graphic, is also very moving. This is a book that stays with you long after you read the last page.
