Seller's Description:
Very good. different cover than shown, Ships First Class from Nevada, Softcover, smooth spine, tight pages, 10/19. Glued binding. B-format paperback. 256 p. Audience: Children/juvenile.
Kerr's memoir of her flight from Nazi Germany is a modern children's classic able to stand alongside of Anne Frank's diary. Adults can profit from a reading as well as children, for a knowledge of the historical events behind the personal trauma grants added resonance. I have shared with book with students in my college-level course on war and film, in assignments keyed to the experience of children in war. Readers new to Kerr's work will enjoy this first volume and pursue its sequel.
