Summary: This was a great book!
Comment: This was a fantastic book! It's about a typical boy living in the city, whose life is suddenly changed. A young girl and her mother move into the appartment building where he's living, and it rocks his world forever. She is one of the many people who have escaped Hitlar, and the memory of her father being beaten to death in front of her eyes has haunted her ever since it happened. Alan must help her out of these hard time, and within Naomi, he finds a friend he thought he could never have.
I loved this book, it was so touching I even cried. If you want to consider yourself a serious reader, read this book.

Summary: This book is exquisite!
Comment: At our school we are required to tell about one extra credit book every six weeks. This was on my extra credit list, so I just ordered it from another library, not really expecting that much. But boy, was I wrong!
I was witness to young Alan trying to help Naomi, a terrified young girl who locks herself deep inside after her father is beaten to death in front of her for making maps that led Jews to freedom. I rejoiced with him as he slowly made progress until Naomi seemed to totally braek free of her shell and enter the big world. A little cautious, perhaps, but she was really there. It was totally easy to fall in love with Naomi. Her extremely intelligent, sweet mind was so refreshing. She is lively, and so much fun! "Crazy Cat" became Alan's best friend, caught up with the school year's class in only two weeks, and Alan and she shared everything. Alan learns why when she first came and wasn't quite in her right mind she spent all her time shredding paper. When her father had been killed, she and him had been shredding his secret maps and flushing them down in the toilet so that the Gestapo would have no reason to harm him. They failed to make it, and Naomi blamed herself. Then one day a cruel boy from school called Alan a "dirty Jew" and they got into a fight. What happened as a consequence to Naomi's mind was so sad it almost made me cry. Read it!
This book makes you really see the fear and loss that Hitler and the Nazis brought. It is really a touching story.

Summary: Alan and Naomi
Comment: We had to read this book in school. I thoguht that it would really stink... but I was very wrong. I read the whole thing in a night and I really loved it. It made me really think about what my teacher was trying to tell us. Innocent people were changed forever by the Holocaust. Alan and Naomi become friends and then... (read to find out!)
