Re: [ha-Safran] Seeking Holocaust book for grades 6-7 as a class read

[LOIS RUBY via Hasafran]

Hello, all, and g'mar chatimah tovim,
I've poured over the lists of Holocaust books suitable for grades 6 and 7 that 
have been sent around recently and am disappointed to see that my book is not 
on the list. SHANGHAI SHADOWS offers a unique perspective as it's a novel about 
a family uprooted from their Austrian home and propelled across the world to 
China. The main character, Ilse, is a spunky girl who ages from 9 to 15 through 
the war. She makes the most of life in a grim Shanghai ghetto by going 
underground as a spy. So, it's a family story, a spy story, even a 
heart-tugging romance, and it's available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. 
Please add it to your lists!
Thanks,
LOIS RUBY
