Run, Boy, Run (Mildred L Batchelder Honor Book (Awards))

Summary: Worth Reading
Review: The book is well written and tells a remarkable story. It's a good book to read along with a teen/pre-teen to talk about what the reality of war, anti-semitism, etc. The fact that it is told from a child's perspective makes it all the more compelling. A few themes are mature (a brief mention of animals mating, a glimpse of a romantic meeting between a girlfriend/boyfriend), so I wouldn't recommend it for a child below the age of 11 or 12, unless you are comfortable explaining!
