'I'm a Jew,' said Patty's father, 'and 'd rather help a mad dog escape from the pound than help a Nazi.'
When Patty Bergen sold a red pencil sharpener to the German prisoner in her father's store, a friendship was started which was to bring her much unhappiness, but also the greatest joy she'd ever known.
An unusual moving story set in wartime America.
My Review
I rate this book 9 out of 10!
It is a very moving story and brought tears to my eyes at one stage. It is about a 12 year old girl in a time of war. She was under the influence of a cruel father, which constantly affected her kindness towards others. She was an extremely caring person and I felt as if I knew her when I had finished reading the book. It was really interesting to read about the time during the war and it made me tremedously grateful that i don't live in a war zone. An amazing book, which I could read again and again.
see you soon,
Courtney
