This is a beautifully written and extremely moving biography for young people.The author manages to convey information in a highly readable manner.

Jayne Pettit used her imagination when writing this book. She used five different types of lives during the Holocaust. She never used too much information about one person. Ms. Pettit would explain with just the right amount of detail. She tells about a boy who saved an American pilot, a Japanese-American in Manzanar, about a child in a concentration camp, and more. If you're a child, the book is simple enough for you to understand, yet complex enough to give you most of the facts.

Recently I have read Journey of the Heart by Jane Pettit. I have found it to be a wondorously enchanting novel about the life and hardships of the great poet Maya Angelou. It was extraordinary, reading the book was almost like watching a movie. The author was so descriptive that I could see little photographs in my head of what was happening at the time. In conclusion I would have to say that this is one of the greatest books that I have ever read.

I think this book was very interesting although some of the stories were boring that is why i gave it a 4 and not a 5 star overall I think this book is good and I think you should own it too.
