Description
The story of a young fictionalized girl raised near Prague whose village is destroyed by the Germans in retaliation for an attack on a Nazi official (true event). "Eva" is jewish but appears to meet the aryan sterotype. She is one of thousands of children taken from their families and given to Nazi families to raise (true event). The book details "Eva's" struggle to survive and to remember who she really is.

The book is on the suggested reading lists for several (I believe 10) states and is recommended for ages 7-10. I would say to age recommendation could be extended in both directions. This is a good one for both parent and child to read and discuss.
