Milkweed was very well written as are so many of Spinelli's books. This historical fiction story was moving as well as informational for young readers. My students are very interested in the WWII period and The Holocaust. Many of them have read The Book Thief or The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, so I will recommend Milkweed to them as well. Although I personally think that it is important to bring to life the horror that occurred during this very disturbing time in our world's history, there were a few parts that I found difficult to read, which I will also warn my students about before they read it. I recommend this book to readers ages 12 and up.
