Annie de Leeuw, a young girl who lived during World War II of Germany, 1939, the first year as the war broke out for few European countries as a Jewish along with her older sister and parents. Since the war had broke out, all Jews have to fled the country, went into hiding, or went to contraction camps. Stayed with another family, still in Germany but had to hide from the Hitler's Nazis and not go to the contraction camp to get killed. But would she make out alive throughout the years of the war, without being discovered by the Nazis, hide her actual identity and survive? This story is based on the author, Johanna Reiss's real experiences during living in WWII in 1940s. This is pretty interesting and would recommend for people who would study WWII. - Happy Reading!

I didn't like this book at all!!!! I thought it was very boring and it said the same inappropriate word many times. I would recommend this book to many 6th or 7th graders starting to learn WWll, but if you already read a book about WWll or know about it, this book would not be right for you.

i decided to read this book because i read it in class. This book is about the WWII. I loved this book and you should read it!

the book was was and had many supprises, and gasphing moments

it was so good . i loved it especially Annie and opoe
