Stolen Girl

I read this aloud to my 5 children in only 3 sittings, because no one wanted to pause. The book is so well written, and uniquely presents a history I had never been taught or even exposed to. The author deals candidly, but sensitively with the realities of WW2 and its aftermath. I have purchase all of this author's novels. We’ll begin Making Bombs for Hitler this week!

This was a great book for middle grade readers who enjoy historical fiction. It was about a 12-year old girl who immigrated to Canada after World War II with her "adoptive" parents, but her memories of her past haunt her dreams as she tries to remember where she originally came from. It loosely ties in with Making Bombs for Hitler. It was a surprising connection for me, but there is no need to read the other book to enjoy this one. Both books opened my eyes to what became of some young children during world war II. I don't want to spoil the book so will not explain what happened in either book. I enjoyed the book as an adult reader and my 13 year old son enjoyed the book as well. (He loves WWII history.) However I would imagine a girl might identify with the character more.

The history from a child’s perspective Engages my students and keeps them captivated. We will read the authors book making bombs next

My daughter really enjoyed reading this book.

This book is SO well written. It introduced me to something I had no idea happened. My daughter and I have both fallen in love with the author! All of her books are so AMAZING!
