Survivors of the Holocaust and other family-destroying tragedies have found strength to create new lives for themselves and to make a positive impact on humanity, not just to mark time until they die; why the Tie Man is portrayed as incapable or uninterested in doing so is the central tragedy in this book.
The anguish I felt for the title character was replaced by anger at the manipulative text. The pictures are engaging and the title and beginning of the story are deceptive. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a good book to read to your children.
At the conclusion of the evening, Seth has learned that there are wants greater than his own. He has learned about loving concern for other people. And, he has learned about a world in which both concentration camp victims and wishes to Heaven are carried upward in a flicker of light and a whirl of smoke.

Yet it's not until Hannah overhears her parents discussing Rafi's injuries that she realizes where his bruises and broken bones come from--his stepfather. Then Hannah stops at nothing to prove he's being abused, even sneaking over to his house at night and witnessing it happen.
The targetted audience is 8 to 12-year-olds, but everyone can benefit from the moral of the story--protect one another. It's a great story about Hannah's bravery and determination to save Rafi and takes on the very delicate issue of child abuse.
Even though this book is set for younger readers, I thought it would have made a much better young adult novel if Hannah and Rafi had been developed more and an extra 100 or so pages added. Otherwise, I thought the story was interesting enough and suitable for everyone.
