The most age appropriate book about this subject I've seen so far. I read almost anything I can find on the Holocaust, all parts of it, whether it's academic, YA, anything and most of the "YA" I've read so far isn't what I'd give my daughter until she's an older teenager/young adult.
Even though this is fiction it's based on a true story and I love that Lowry adds at the end what is real and what's not. I also love how she touches on a part of the Holocaust that isn't written about for the most part.
