I think I'll add it to the wish list :)<BR/><BR/>The only other WWII book I recall reading is I am David by Ann Holm, which I read as a child. It's the story of a young boy who escapes from a concentration camp and sets off in search of his mother. I was excited to find a secondhand copy recently so I'm looking forward to re-reading it soon.<BR/><BR/>And I have The Diary of Anne Frank on my TBR pile as well.Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252016464779942440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681531383692490282.post-43298860014573311012008-07-02T23:36:00.000+10:002008-07-02T23:36:00.000+10:00I really liked this book.

I also loved I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak, and another WWII book that I read recently was The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. I almost shelved it because I really didn't like the main character, but my friend encouraged me to stick with it, and I'm glad I did.Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131924592639030353noreply@blogger.com
