Dragged in places, but a lovely book. A great follow up to When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit.

 CW/TW: Anti-Semitism
Age Rating: 10+

- I don't have very strong feelings about this book
- Papa was the best, as usual
- Anna got a little annoying in the middle
- Anna's romance with John Cotmore was questionable. She was eighteen and he was around forty!!! Thank goodness it didn't work out.

- I will read the third book in the series :)

So I really enjoyed this. Was it brilliant? No. Would I have even picked it up if it was by another author? Maybe... But the thing is When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit was a really big part of my childhood, so I really enjoyed getting to see more about Anna. The Anna I grew up reading about, was terrifyingly unaware at times and it was interesting watching her grow up and adapt to new challenges in a world where she was far more aware of the horrors around her. I have been so attached to this family for so long, well worth the read.

La verdad es que no conocí la existencia de este libro hasta que entré en Goodreads y ví que "Cuando Hitler robó el conejo rosa" era parte de una trilogía.

Al principio no me estaba gustando demasiado, supongo que porque nuestra protagonista ha crecido y ya no estamos viendo la guerra desde la perspectiva de una niña, sino de una adolescente. Pero a medida que fui avanzando en la historia, este libro me volvió a tocar la fibra sensible y aprendí varias cosas que no sabía sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

¿Me animaré con el tercero que sólo está en inglés? Yo creo que sí, aunque seguro que tardo lo mio jaja

I really enjoyed reading more into Anna's life, although this one was quite a bit sadder then the first. The reason for this being that Anna was considerably older and, therefore, more aware of what was going on around her and the seriousness of the situation.

And just as a side note, just once would I like to read about an affair with an older married and/or teacher guy that actually works out, despite this not being as bad as it could've been since he obviously felt some remorse for what happened.

Utterly fantastic. I loved this book - it feels as if Judith Kerr herself is sat just beyond the pages, taking your arm gently and whisking you away to a London entirely familiar and completely unknown. Just brilliant.
