This story was about the time of the Holocaust. The writer of this book, Alicia Appleman, went through many hardships while living during this time. Alicia was a Jew, and she was the only girl out of many other boys in her family. All of her brothers got sent away except for the youngest who later on died. There were many people who helped her, but Alicia is the main character. Alicia just tried her hardest everyday to stay alive. She experienced many hardships. The worst was probably just seeing every one of her family members die one by one. She had to go through many hardships, but she never gave up. My favorite character was probably Alicia because she showed many hero characteristics while going through everything that she had to go through.

I can't really relate to any of the characters. They had things so much worse back then, and especially being a Jew during this time made the hard times even harder. I have been on my own before, but not in the same way that Alicia has. She was totally alone through some of the hard things she had to go through. I can't imagine how this was for the people who experienced this.

I liked this book even though it was really sad. This book kind of makes you realize how bad this time was. My favorite part was when you find out at the end that Alicia helps hundreds of other people who are experiencing the same thing she had to go through. She helps children and adults escape through an underground passage. My least favorite part was when Alicia finds her mom again and they get caught and the Nazi's try to aim for Alicia, but shoot her mother instead because they missed. It is probably one of the saddest parts of the book.

I would recommend this book to other people because even though it is a really sad book, it is also really good and it was an interesting book to read. I think that a person who likes to hear true stories would like this book. I think that it was a great book, even though the actions in it were horrible.
