I liked this book, because it told you what happened to a family during the war. How they lost everything and how it affected a young girl. I think that this for older elementary kids though. I was a little disappointed with this book. I guess I expected stronger characters from Carol Matas and didn't feel any particular connection to Hannah, resulting in a lack of emphathy of her journey toward understanding the civil war and the greater issues of slavery and human worth. As to be expected with a book by Carol Matas, the historical context was well researched and provided a strong overview of a little known part of history which was the expulsion of Jews from Union controlled states by General Grant's Order #11. Still, I am not sure how I would use this book in my classroom. Perhaps, as an optional reading selection in the personal and philosophical context it supports. Still, I just don't know if grade 8's would enjoy it. That said, what didn't work for me may be a fantastic read for another. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
