Helpful Score: 7
I love this book! The atrocities and horrors of a Nazi war-torn country are covered on a personal level in the experience of the characters without being too much for the reader to bear. Hansel and Gretel are a big sister and little brother looking out for each other and surviving against the odds. It is cleverly spun and I read to the end in the wee hours on a stormy night because I could not put it down. A breathtaking journey! The opening page reads:
___The Witch___
Caught between green earth and blue sky, only truth kept me sane, but now lies disturb my peace. The story has been told over and over by liars and it must be retold. Do not struggle when the hook of a word pulls you into the air of truth and you cannot breathe.
For a little while, I ask this of you.
Come with me.
