About this product

Product Information

A stunning novel of the Holocaust from Newbery Medalist , Jerry Spinelli He's a boy called Jew. Gypsy. Stopthief. Filthy son of Abraham. He's a boy who lives in the streets of Warsaw. He's a boy who steals food for himself, and the other orphans. He's a boy who believes in bread, and mothers, and angels. He's a boy who wants to be a Nazi, with tall, shiny jackboots of his own-until the day that suddenly makes him change his mind. And when the trains come to empty the Jews from the ghetto of the damned, he's a boy who realizes it's safest of all to be nobody. Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli takes us to one of the most devastating settings imaginable-Nazi-occupied Warsaw during World War II-and tells a tale of heartbreak, hope, and survival through the bright eyes of a young Holocaust orphan.

Reviews
"An extremely powerful book. Readers will be gripped by this story of a young orphan in Warsaw." -- Boston Herald "Jerry Spinelli has fashioned a novel of beauty out of the ugliness of the Holocaust. It is a superb book, one of the best you will read." -- BookPage "Stunning." -- Kirkus Reviews, Starred  "Spinelli creates a masterful achievement, a war story to be put alongside J. G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun and a literary accompaniement to Roberto Benigni's Life Is Beautiful ." -- VOYA "An unforgettable novel."-- Library Media Connection , Starred "Part survival adventure, part Holocaust history, [this] novel tells the story through the eyes of a Polish orphan on the run from the Nazis."-- Booklist , Starred review "This is a superb addition to the canon of young adult literature."-- Jewish Book World "Unforgettable. . . a powerful story about one small boy's courage during a horrifying period of history.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • The title doesn't say much.

    I was excited to read this book. I like to read about WWII from time to time, and so I thought this book would be a good one. I read the entire thing in one sitting, staying up late into the night, just to finish it! It is one of the better books that I have read about the children living during Hitler's reign, and the poverty they (as well as the adults) endured. It was a great read!
