- Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2020 February #1
Sixteen-year-old Stefania Podgorska lives with the Diamant family in Przemysl, Poland, during WWII. When, in 1943, the German army invades her town, her adopted Jewish family is rounded up with other Jews and sent to the ghetto. Stefania is left behind, but sheâwhile also caring for her abandoned six-year-old sister, Helenaâagrees to hide Max Diamant and his friends, who escaped the ghetto. For almost two years, Stefania and Helena live in absolute fear of being discovered and killed for helping Jews. Young adult author Cameron (The Knowing, 2017) returns with a new read that conveys the true story of a young Polish girl who hides 13 Jews in her attic. Similar to Kathy Kacer's The Sound of Freedom (2018), Cameron's latest is set during WWII in Poland but gives a more thorough account of the terror that reigned during the war. Empowered by thorough researchâan author's note details events after the warâCameron successfully conveys horror and bravery in this powerful and captivating novel. A memorable read. Grades 8-10.
