 Inspired by a true story, this gritty dual timeline narrative tells about Australian high schooler Lisa and her father, who has ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and has six months to live. As he is dying, he recounts the devastating childhood time he spent at Auschwitz. He has kept the story and information about his Jewish family hidden – until now. His stories bring to life Lisa’s grandparents, aunts, and uncles she never had the chance to meet. Lisa also struggles with her own secrets. No one at school, including her boyfriend, knows she is Jewish or that her father is sick. This is an engaging read for young adults. The Walker Books website offers excellent classroom resources for the book. mjw |
