This book was amazing! It's a super short quick read that I read in 3 hours and I absolutely loved it. It continues exactly from where the first one finished off literally! The first book ended with them jumping of off a train and the second book started from them landing after the jump. The book made me feel really sad and angry for how things were during the world war II for everybody but specially for children. We see the world war from a 10 year old child and how scared they are for their life and for their parents life, after what happened to Zelda in the end I hate what happened during the world war more. I know that what happened to her didn't actually happen to her because it is fictional but what happened to her could have easily happened to any child living during the war.

I recommend everyone to read this book. It may be a little kids book but the meaning behind it is for everyone. Quite frankly the way we're living now we could learn a thing or 2 about wars. They need to stop immediately, I know this book wont stop wars but it may open our eyes a bit more and help us try to stop the wars from happening.
