4.0

This is only the 2nd book I’ve read about the Polish exile to Siberia, such a horrible fate. Yet, unlike the concentration camps, some of the exiled weathered the extreme poverty and austere conditions and lived. Esther’s story is not just of this exile, but of being a young girl, fitting in, finding herself. It truly is a great book for middle schoolers, but for adults as well.
