I have read this book 2 times.
ESP:
Está bien. Habla sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial/Holocausto en Dinamarca. A priori es un libro interesante y no está mal escrito. El punto es que es un libro para niños de alrededor de 10/12 años, entonces la forma de escritura es muy sencilla, el libro bastante corto y no ahonda mucho. Hay muchas cosas que quizás solo puedes entender siendo adulto, pero igual pareciera un relato que cualquier podría escribir. Creo que es una buena forma de introducir a niños en esta parte trágica de la historia, o para aprender algunas cosillas de este país, como lo del pañuelo o el transportar judíos en barcos a Suecia. Fuera de eso, no te va a aportar mucho más nuevo.
ENG:
It is good. It is about the Second World War/Holocaust in Denmark. A priori it is an interesting book and not badly written. The point is that it is a book for children around 10/12 years old, so the writing is very simple, the book is quite short and doesn't go into much depth. There are a lot of things that maybe you can only understand as an adult, but it still seems like a story that anyone could write. I think it's a good way to introduce children to this tragic part of history, or to learn a few things about this country, like the headscarf or the transporting of Jews on ships to Sweden. Other than that, it's not going to give you much new.

This is the best book I’ve ever read in my life! I have first read it in fourth grade, and I have read it at least 20 times since. 🩷 I’m in 8th grade now
Wow. Almost everyone on my friend's list has read this book and I somehow missed it until this week. I went to the library to check out The Giver but this was the only Lowry book they had checked in at the time. Somehow I missed this book as a child, but I wish that I had read it then! Great book, interesting story and characters, and mostly based on true stories! This would be a fantastic book to introduce children to the Holocaust and I'm sure it would promote lots of discussion. It was a fast read and I'm glad I read it.
