This is a great and wonderful book that is a novel of Nazi Germany. It is in great condition and looks like it hasn't even been read yet. It looks like it was just bought from the store. I would recommend this book for a 10-14 year old.
Behind the Bedroom Wall is a great historical fiction!
great holocost book.

Korinna, however, has a rude awakening when she discovers that her own parents are hiding Jews behind the wall of her bedroom.

A story of a girl, a dedicated member of the Nazi youth group, who not only must face the fact that her parents have been helping to hide a Jewish mother and daugher.... but she herself actually gets to know and care for the two of them. I enjoyed it myself, but it would be a good read for a teenager who would like to learn about what happened many years ago in Germany.
fictional book about hiding Holocaust victims. ****
