It was popular and well liked. I also was able to bring out a lot of different things in regard to the holocaust, Jews, and such. It was written from a child's point of view and fairly short. A quick read and well done.

Another great piece of historical fiction is "Esperanza Rising" It is about a young rich Mexican girl whose father is murdered causing her and her mother to loose everything. They are forced to move to the U.S. to survive and escape the abuse of her uncles. When she arrives she has to learn to find peace within herself as life as a migrant worker is so foreign to her.
