Review:
This is a story of a young Jewish boy named Mendel. He and his family are experiencing cruelty during the reign of a Czar. The officers are being rewarded for recruiting the children. Being the only son, he knew he needed to escape. With final words from his father, he started his journey to see his aunt. With a bit of help from strangers along the way, he still doubted that he made the right decision to cross the border. When the surprise of a map presented itself, Mendel found hope.
This
story of war, and escape is perfect for readers who love a good thought-provoking
history novel. Parents and teachers can discuss the rule of a Czar and the culture
and integrity of Jewish people.
