I received a free ARC from Scholastic through NetGalley
4.5 stars rounded up to 5
Max and Zena are young Jewish children in Poland during World War II. Their young aunt has disappeared, they are living in a ghetto, and their father was taken away from them. When they find themselves alone on the street, they must try to do something to keep from being caught. Fast-paced and full of action, the I Survived series is a great introduction to history for young readers.
I am a huge fan of this series. I love historical fiction. I also like any series that is great for the young readers. For some reason, I did not like this particular book as much as the others. I think my expectations might have been a little too high, as I really enjoy reading books about this time period. I contemplated giving only 4 stars, but I decided it does deserve 5 stars. For the age it is intended for, it is realistic yet happy. Readers that are the intended age will surely not be disappointed in this addition, and it might just spark the interest in them to learn more about the time period.
