Very sad story taking place in Germany in WWII from the perspective of a child as she grows up. A heart-wrenching tale of wonder and a thirst for knowledge that helps keep a family together.

This book details one little girl's experience during WWII and

her adopted family hiding a Jew

. The details aren't gore-y, but they are descriptive.
