imsarah_moran 's review for:
Children of the Stars
by Mario Escobar
4.75 ⭐️
Ugh! What an inspiring book! I did keep it on the back burner for a bit because of other books that caught my fancy (*cough*James Herriot*cough*), but it did not disappoint at all.
Two brothers, Jacob and Moses Stein, are in Paris, France where the Nazis have occupied their beautiful country. With their parents gone and due to dire circumstances that forced them out of their home, their city, and alone, the two brave lads set out to find their parents and be a family again. Betrayal, love, and hope find the Stein brothers as they meet all sort of people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the hated, the belittled, and the targeted because of the unconditional love and compassion within their hearts for their fellow man, or in this case, two Jewish boys who want normalcy in the chaotic world of war.
I was on the edge of my seat (more like my bed, but you get the point) while I read this book, especially the middle to end part. I cheered them on and wanted to chuck the book across the room when there was a setback or the Germans were near and thwarted the Stein brother's plans. I highly recommend this book if you're a fan of WWII fiction, sibling relationships, and a whole lot of tear-jerking moments of goodness.
Happy Reading!✨
