A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen
4.5

4.5 stars

This is a really good historical fiction middle grade novel. It centers on Gerta and her family, who live in East Berlin. Her father and her younger brother get separated from Gerta, her older brother, and mother when the Berlin Wall (that originally was barbed wire) goes up in 1961. The novel brings out the atrocities of the East Berlin regime, and the reader is pulling for Gerta's family to reunite.
