Attimes, I felt like my eyeballs just couldn’t move as fast as I wanted tobe reading. As much of a page-turner as this is, it also delivers a realsense of history and an empowered and empowering 15-year-oldheroine who has suffered yet never gives in to fear or hopelessness.It’s like Harry Potter meets James Bond in Nazi Germany, starring aJewish orphan who just keeps kicking butt.” —Nina Barrett,Bookends & Beginnings, Evanston, ILCopyright American Booksellers Association.
