Select Testimonials:
"Teresa R. Funke tells the terrifying aspects of WWII with delicacy and sensitivity for her young readers, but she doesn't sugar-coat the facts, either. This book is a good addition to literature on the American home front during WWII." - Jennifer Bohnhoff
"This is a great historical novel for young readers. After reading this novel and seeing the viewpoint of the main character of the story, Miriam Libeler, I feel like I have a clear understanding of what it felt like to be a teenager in New York City during World War 2. Miriam guides us through triumph and loss, through fear and faith. This page turner is the perfect addition to any young historical buff's book collection." - Amazon Reviewer
"In this moving story about a Jewish girl living in America during World War II, Teresa Funke demonstrates her skill in inspiring young readers to imagine how, when faced with adversity, they can call on their own values and strengths not only to ensure their own resilience but also to make a positive difference in the lives of those around them." - Denice Davis
