This is an amazing, incredible, fantastic book! It starts out with Mottele (a.k.a. Mitka), a 12 yr. old Jewish boy. He comes from a small village that the Nazis pillaged in one quick motion, killing family, friends, and most importantly, his 4 yr. old sister. Mottele figures the only way to justify his anger and have revenge upon his family's murderers is to become a partisan. He has his heart set on finding the leader of a nearby resistance group, Diadia Misha. If he doesn't, the Nazis will capture him (he lives close to the Nazi headquarters), but if he DOES find Misha, his life will be renewed! READ THIS BOOK!

My child enjoyed this book very much. The book is adventurous and the characters are well developed. Although my daughter is only six, she was able to practice her fluency and gain confidence knowing she could read non-picture books. The children in the book exhibit respect, good manners and a spirit of caring for others. These qualities are developed throughout the story without sacrificing the mystery and adventurous nature of the book.

My special education children have really enjoyed reading this book and also studying Texas history in regard to the Battle of the Alamo..Truly one of the better books in the entire series.
