What the Night Sings by Vesper Stamper
5.0
Am I your friend? Then trust me, you want to read this book. Don't read it or buy it for the wonderful weight of paper or the font or the smell of ink. They are all wonderfully apt choices. Read it for the journey your heart will make with Gerta. Read it for remembering a piece of history too oft relegated to statistics and numbers too mind-boggling to comprehend. Read it to trace your own humanity.
This is not only good young adult fiction, it is good literature. The story is an immersive experience for your imagination, engaging sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. The illustrations are as key to the story telling as the words on the page; don't rush past them or you will miss something wonderful in the telling.
Well done, Ms. Stamper. Well done.
