__Review:__ This is a wonderful piece of young adult historical fiction. It captures everything during the time of world war II, all put through the thoughts and feelings of a young school boy who falls in love. I really liked this book, because it is different from all of the non-fiction books on world war II. The author truly tried to imagine what a boy of his age would be thinking at this time in his life, with all the death and peril on the outside, and him and his family living on the inside. Can you imagine never knowing what happened to the rest of your family, your school teachers, your home, and all of your friends? This novel is very descriptive, and if you want to learn the famous story of the diary of Anne Frank, but want something a little more interesting to help you through it, this is the book for you. .
