Sky: A True Story of Courage During World War II

Plot

Sky is a true story about a girl named Hanneke Ippisch during the Holocaust. It gives you some details about the Holocaust that are sometimes left out in books; like how some people tried to help the Jews. There were many resistance groups that hid, fed, and rescued the Jews from the Nazi soldiers. Hanneke Ippisch writes a wonderful autobiography that has somewhat personal stories in it. She tells about her family, some of the people she helped, and what happened to her while she was in jail. She also includes some details about her child life and how she felt about the war. I would definitely recommend this book to children curious about the Holocaust and war in Europe. It has a couple stories in it, but it's mostly facts about her life. If you like to read on more of a story line though, this book isn't for you.
