We found this book profoundly moving and evocative. We thought it is suitable for Y6 upwards as a Guided Reader because it would promote much discussion and would need careful adult explanations for difficult questions and issues. We thought it tackled family relationships sensitively within a family that had many problems. It was interesting because it was written from a child's point of view - trying to make sense of a difficult period in history. It is possible to read the book on many levels on depending on the age of the reader and their knowledge of the Holocaust. Rosemary Bowsher and Jane Hodgins Beatrix Potter Primary School
