"Devil's Arithmetic" by Jane Yolen. March 22-24, Whole Book.
This book is about a girl, Hannah who lives in modern times and is transported back in time to the Holocaust during a Jewish holiday. She is sent to a concentration camp and faces horrors beyond imagination. This book was like a horror novel;creepy,scary, and intriguing. Once she was transported back in time and in a box car, the book was too good and full of pain to put down. The book was very dark though but not bad or too dark. The worst part for me was when her aunt and some other people tried to escape and failed. Her uncle and some other men were publicly shot and right before the guns went off, her uncle's fiance ran to her uncle. She was caught in the fire and died too.
I would recommend this book to people who want to know more about what happened in concentration camps and the Holocaust.
