The book is a partly autobiographical story about 10-year-old Anna and her family who flee Germany, just before Hitler comes to power, as they are Jewish. Anna’s father is a famous writer who is also quite vocal in his views against the Nazis and he appears on a wanted list in the government soon after he flees. The different people, schools and languages they must adjust to.

Throughout the story Anna shows the reader the difficulties they go through as they move from country to country. While the difficulties they face are probably nothing in comparison to those that families who stayed behind faced, the author beautifully brings to light how unsettling it is for Anna and her brother when they have to suddenly leave their home, school, friends, family members and toys behind. I would urge parents to make their kids read this book… not only as a light introduction to the Nazi regime and its effects, but a way to show them how people deal with change and difficulties. This was the first time I was reading a story about a family on the other side.

Most books on this topic have been heart wrenching and I wondered how the author had handled it and made it suitable for children. The media could not be loaded.
The innocence of children is very beautifully depicted by a simple statement like “Now Hitler will play with the Pink Rabbit” as they fail to grasp the need of the Nazi regime confiscating their belongings. I have a penchant for Historical Fiction books. With this axe looming over their heads, the family tries to adapt to a normal life as best as they can.
It might be a children’s book… probably for the age of 9 and above but it will appeal to adults as well… a light read on a heavy topic. This is a child’s perspective of historical events. When I came across this title in a list of must-read books for Children my curiosity piqued.
At the end of the book the author has a note where you see how she and her family went through a similar experience and it becomes so real. the refugees … and from a child’s perspective no less! How changes in financial status can lead to so many choices being cut down. They are spared from knowing the gory details, but you can see how personal it still is.
