5.0
As a middle grade graphic novel, this book is not heavy on details. The glossary at the end provides a good overview to the main issues. Anyone reading this with a school age child should consider it a stepping off point for a much broader discussion. Also, a great tie in via the epilogue to current issues.
Moderate: Genocide, War, Violence, Death of parent, Child death, and Antisemitism
