Hi all! I don't know if it is a coincidence or not, but there are many books about WWII poppping up in the list of books you guys are posting about.
1. Brendan L. pointed out that a handful of boys read the book Soldier X (by Don Wulffson) this year. Those guys could tell you more about it, but it is book that reads quickly because the story is so interesting. A man, who is a teacher, fought in the war, but for the GERMANS!
2. Kaitlyn M. suggested Dancing in the Streets in Brooklyn (by April Lurie). It isn't about the war but the story is set during the end of the war (1943-1944ish), so readers learn about the war. There is even a love story too!
There are also a bunch of books out there written about people who lived through the Holocaust. Like Don Cheadle, the actor and human rights activist, said: it's hard to learn about a horrible situation if you are only reading the facts, but you can really learn a lot from someone's story. That's what a story can do...teach you about history, other people's lives, and other places people live.
Please let me know if there are other books worth reading about WWII or the Holocaust. It would be fun to get a big list!
Keep Reading, Everyone! And if you post, I'll keep replying and our conversation about books will continue. And that's a good thing...

I just finished HIT AND RUN by R.l stine.
i have to say that it was the best mystery that i have ever read.
its about 3 teenagers that take thier parents car and hit a body. and at the end cassie figures that it was a prank pulled by scott all along. each chapter is short and detailed. I recommend this book to everyone to read. you can barely put it down.
Thanks for posting, Jade! It's great to hear from you.
R.L. Stine has been popular for years. I know MANY kids who have enjoyed his books. He is know for his suspenseful mysteries...sounds like this is a good one.
What are you going to read next?

Ok this is totally not on the subject of the Holocaust, but still. I may have said something about it is class one time before but whatever. Anyway the book Copper Sun. It is about slave trade and what slaves went through. Well I'm not sure off the top of my head if it was a true story but it give a really good/bad impression on slaves. It is a sad and touching story. Well to me. Also there were a lot of people that read it and said they liked it. But anyway. I think is was a really good/sad book.
